The Croque Madame and the Croque Monsieur.
“Croque” means “crunchy bite” and “monsieur” means “mister”. So it literally translates to mister crunchy. It is a hot sandwich made with ham and cheese.
The Croque Madame is the same thing with a fried egg, sunny side up on top. However some people will incorporate the egg into the monsieur by dipping the bread into egg before it is cooked.
