Croque Monsieur Benedict


1. Sauce: Melt 2-3 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat.

2. Add flour & cook for 1 minute while constantly stirring with a whisk (or chopsticks:).

3. Remove from heat.

4. Add soy milk & whisk until smooth.

5. Beat in egg yolk & return to heat to cook for another minute.

6. Stir in cheese, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 tablespoon Dijon until cheese melts.

7. Set heat to the lowest setting & cover while you do the next steps.

8. Eggs: Melt a knob of margarine in a medium non-stick skillet over medium to medium-low heat.

9. When the margarine's foam begins to subside, add the eggs (do not whisk)

10. Let eggs set a little, then *fold* (do not stir)the eggs.

11. season with salt & pepper to taste.

12. fold eggs again one or two more times, and when they look *almost* done for you, remove from heat & cover while you prepare the next step (they will continue cooking in the hot pan & be just right by the time you are ready to use them)

13. Sandwich: Split open each bread piece

14. Toast the bread on a grill pan until golden or broil the bread cut side up until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a careful watch on the bread since it can easily burn

15. lightly brush desired amounts of margarine & mustard on the cut sides of the toasted bread

16. Arrange a slice of prosciutto (and extra cheese if you like) with some scrambled egg on each piece of toasted bread

17. Cover with sauce.

18. Serve hot garnished with chopped basil.
