A croque-monsieur is a hot ham and cheese (typically gruyère) grilled (broiled) sandwich. It originated in France as a fast-food snack served in cafés and bars. More elaborate versions come coated in a Mornay or Béchamel sauce.The name is based on the verb croquer ("to crunch" or "to bite hungrily") and the word monsieur ("mister")—the reason behind the combination of the two words is unclear—and is colloquially shortened to croque. While the origins of the Croque-monsieur are unknown, there are many speculations on how it was first originated. One such story is that a long time ago there were French workers who would bring their sandwiches to work with them. Some would bring ham and cheese, and since they did not have coolers or refrigerators, they would leave their lunches by the radiators, and the cheese would melt. The Croque-monsieur's first recorded appearance on a Parisian café menu was in 1910. Its earliest published use has been traced back to volume 2 of Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu (1918).A ham and cheese sandwich snack, very similar to the Croque-monsieur, is called a Tosti in the Netherlands. VariationsA croque-monsieur served with a fried egg on top is known as a croque-madame (or in parts of Normandy a croque-cheval). Many dictionaries attribute the name to the egg resembling an old fashioned woman's hat. According to the Petit Robert dictionary, the name dates to around 1960. The name croque-mademoiselle is associated with many different sandwiches, from diet recipes to desserts.Versions of the sandwich with substitutions or additional ingredients are given names modelled on the original croque-monsieur, for example:croque provençal (with tomato)croque auvergnat (with bleu d'Auvergne cheese)croque norvégien (with smoked salmon instead of ham)croque pizza (with tomato sauce)croque tartiflette (with sliced potatoes)croque Hawaii (with pineapple)croque pardon me (with Dijon mustard) See alsoWelsh rabbitGrilled cheese sandwichHam and cheese sandwichFrancesinhaMonte Cristo sandwich
