Croque monsieur

Croque monsieur is a fancy French sandwich made with bread, cheese, and ham. Imagine you're putting together a sandwich but you want it to be extra special, like when you get all dressed up for a party.

First, you start with two slices of bread that are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. These are like the walls of your sandwich house.

Then you add some ham, which is kind of like bacon's cousin but not as salty. It's important to add a good amount of ham because it's one of the main ingredients in the sandwich.

Next, you put a lot of cheese on top of the ham. Cheese is like the glue that holds your sandwich together, and it also makes it taste really yummy.

Finally, you put the second piece of bread on top, like a hat on your sandwich house. Then you cook it in a special way to make the bread toastier and the cheese melty. This is the fanciest part of the process, because you need to be careful not to burn your sandwich.

When you take a bite of a croque monsieur, you taste the crispy bread, the juicy ham, and the creamy cheese all at once. It's like having a delicious party in your mouth!
