Croque Monsieur Casserole
A Croque Monsieur Casserole is a fantastic way to use up leftover baked ham. I love to make this for breakfast in the days after Christmas when I am always looking for ways to use up leftovers. A croque monsieur is a traditional French sandwich which is made with boiled ham and sliced cheese between slices of bread and topped with grated cheese, salt and pepper.
I usually make this take on a croque monsieur by slicing a 1 day old baguette into 20 slices. If your baguette is fresh, toast it lightly beforehand. Layer up the bread, cheese and ham in a casserole dish before pouring over a whisked egg and milk mixture. Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until it is golden brown on top. I often prepare this dish the night before and simply place it in the oven the next morning.
To make Croque Monsieur Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
My favorite French casserole, I also really enjoyed the parmesan potato casserole which I had with garlic bread.
Mouthwatering recipe so easy to follow the steps and taste yummy :)
Me and my family are obsessed with this it's flavorful and filling which is exactly what I was looking for.
Thought I wouldn't manage to do so well with making this but the monsieur casserole baked through and through.
Can't believe I managed to perfect this croque casserole it was so tasty!
Handsdown the best casserole I've ever made in my life!!
Not too satisfied with how it came out slightly dry but that's my fault, decided to add some ketchup to the top and it was the BOMB!
Takes a little bit of time to make his but I enjoyed it nonetheless for sure.
Didn't use whole milk instead went with soy and swapped out gruyere cheese with goat cheese cause I'm lactose.
Huge crowd pleaser made it yesterday for my co-workers office birthday party and everyone devoured it, got a bunch of compliments too.
Well done! Verified!
