Grilling the Perfect Croque Monsieur on the Beefer
The Beefer is not just for steaks. Its intense heat and ceramic design bring restaurant-quality results to classic comfort foods like the Croque Monsieur. Achieve the perfect golden crust and gooey cheese with professional precision, right at home.
🔥 Why Heat Matters
The Beefer’s extreme temperature ensures the bread crisps quickly while the cheese melts evenly. The high heat locks in flavours and creates a beautifully caramelised top layer.
🥪 Choosing Your Ingredients
Bread: Thick slices of white or sourdough
Cheese: Gruyère or Emmental for meltiness and flavour
Ham: High-quality cooked ham or prosciutto for a premium taste
Optional: Dijon mustard or béchamel sauce for extra richness
🔧 Cooking Tips
Preheat the Beefer for a few minutes until extremely hot.
Assemble the sandwich with cheese on both sides of the ham to prevent burning.
Place the sandwich on the lower rack to avoid burning the top while ensuring the cheese melts.
Keep a close eye as the Beefer cooks fast; 1–2 minutes per side may be sufficient.
🍽 Suggested Variations and Serving Ideas
Classic: Ham, Gruyère, white bread, lightly buttered.
Truffle: Add a light truffle oil drizzle before grilling.
Smoky: Include smoked ham and smoked cheese for extra depth.
Béchamel: Spread béchamel sauce on top before finishing under the Beefer.
Vegetarian: Swap ham for grilled mushrooms or roasted peppers.
Conclusion
With the Beefer, even a simple Croque Monsieur becomes a professional dish. The high heat, precision cooking, and ceramic design allow you to achieve restaurant-style results at home. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a comforting snack, this technique elevates a French classic with ease.
