First I must say, thank God the negative reviews were buried under the wave of rave reviews (3 out of 90, perhaps the ratio would indicate that the few nay sayers need to do some home work. That being said, this recipe belongs on the bucket list of things to try!!! easy quick and really delish! and for the one reviewer that suggested to throw a fried egg on top for breakfast, add a glass of champagne and holy brunch!!!!!! using good bread is as important as using good cheese.
thanks Contessa, I love your recipes

My husband and I tried our hand at this sandwich and let me just say that our expectations were blown out of the water. It is relatively easy to make if you are familiar with cooking. We paired our croque monsieurs with an arugala and tomato salad that was spritzed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. The bitterness of the arugala was married beautifully with the smooth Guyere cheese. SO GOOD.

I don't usually like sandwiches for dinner but this looked very dressed up and dinner-worthy. I wasn't disappointed. I accidentally put a lot of the gruyere in the white sauce because I didn't read the recipe carefully, but it worked out just fine nonetheless. Next time I think I will use a heaftier bread and keep the crusts on because I really liked the crisp parts that remained on the bread after broiling where the sauce hadn't touched. Fairly easy to make if you've already mastered a white sauce, and very French! I served it with a simple strawberry spinach salad.

I saw this on TV today and decided to surprise my husband with an authentic French treat for dinner. Yum! I cut the recipe in 1/2 since it was just the two of us. I used a great sour-dough and left the crust on (that was my favorite part. I also added a few fresh mushrooms (uncooked and the sandwich was heaven. I have a new confidence with white sauce thanks to this. C'est tres tres Bon !

I only bought 8 oz of gruyere cheese, I added the 1/2 cup in the sauce... but didn't put as much in the sandwich or on top and still didn't use the whole 8 oz. Also used the parmigiana reggiano variety of parmesan, so good! The white sauce is amazing, had leftover of that as well going to mix it with some pasta. Served it with roasted veggie soup... Definitely be using this recipe in the future!

I don't understand what happened, but mine were a salty nightmare. I'm guessing either all the reviewers here really really like salt to overpower the rest of the flavors, or my parmesan was ridiculously salty. While I was making the bechamel sauce I decided to cut the recipe's salt in half, because I saw all the other salty ingredients it called for. That's 1/2 tsp of kosher salt I put in and yet they were as good as inedible. I also bought unsalted butter just for this recipe, and none of the other ingredients on their own were too salty. The meal I had planned for my mom's birthday - and shopped and prepared for all afternoon - was ruined, along with my rep :( Not fun.

I made this for Saturday lunch for my husband and 28yr old daughter. We all agreed that it was on our most scrumptious list. The sauce turned out beautifully, the bread was toasted perfectly, and her directions were flawless. Oh my, if I could eat this every day, I would. Just send me to fat heaven (which is probably in Paris! Don't worry if you're not much of a cook. It's quite an easy recipe.
