Not "Croque Madam"

I've long been curious to try a "croque monsieur" or a "croque madam" sandwich - traditional French sandwiches made by dipping ham and cheese sandwiches in a mixture of egg and milk, then frying them, as one would fry French toast. 

I was under the impression that the "croque monsieur" had ham and cheese between the slices of bread but "croque madam" only had cheese...

So I made what I thought was a "croque madam" - because I had no ham.

But I was wrong! Turns out that both croque monsieur" and "croque madam" have ham and cheese in them. But "croque madam" has a fried egg - sunny side up - on top!

I need to try that!

But I did use the leftover egg and milk mixture for a small serving of scrambled eggs - which I drizzled with homemade strawberry jam...

A delicious dessert!
