,Authentic Text
A Brief History of the Croque Monsieur, France's Cheese Toastie
By: Alex Lesdom
You can find a Croque Monsieur on most French bistro or cafe menus; it’s the French version of toasted cheese. Usually served with chips or salad, it forms a staple of the
French fast-food cuisine and it is delicious. Here’s our brief run-down on everything you need to know about it.
The title Croque Monsieur comes from “croquer”, to bite and “monsieur” meaning mister. It’s literally a gentleman’s sandwich. It first appears in literature in a work by
Proust, In Search of Lost Time in 1918, but it had featured on menus in Paris as early as 1910.
It is made of simple ingredients found in any French home; bread, cheese and ham. The bread is usually a more sweet version of normal bread, a bit like brioche (“pain de
mie“). Sometimes it can be dipped in egg before being grilled, although many households make it just using normal sliced bread. It must always be white bread – so be
warned, the dish is not particularly healthy or low on fat!
The cheese is normally Gruyère or Emmental although often Comte is used (which is more of a ubiquitous French cheese and forms the staple of many French fridges). The
cheese is normally placed on top as well as inside and the sandwich is then baked or fried so that the cheese melts and the bread becomes a little crusty.
Sometimes, restaurants add a bechamel sauce to give added flavour. Bechamel forms the basis of many French sauces. Made of milk, fat, and flour, it is mixed together and
poured over the top.
Sometimes, an egg is added on top, forming a “Croque Madame”. The name is supposed to relate to a woman’s hat and became common in the 1960s. A
“Croque Mademoiselle” is a much rarer vegetarian version, minus the ham, and with cucumber and chives.
The same dish can be found in many other countries. In England, it’s a toastie or Welsh Rarebit. In the Netherlands, it’s a tosti, in the US, they call it the Monte Cristo, and in
Catalonia, it’s known as a bikini. It’s delicious, whatever the name.

, Rationale for why you have chosen this authentic material:
I have decided to give a brief history of a French cuisine that is relatable in other countries, should they be travelling. Also, it could be a point of pride that
such a simple sandwich can be so intricate and yet comes from France. It also provides a little history, should they not know it, which could allow for
interesting discussions on food around the world and similarities in future classes. They are adults and may appreciate the history. I have decided on French
cuisine as it will make the text more relatable and something quick and easy so as not to be too overwhelmed by text. They are probably quite busy and may
be more familiar with this fast-food.
