This ham and cheese croque gives a classic combination a contemporary look. The bread is generously topped with artisanal ham and Beemster cheese. The croque is finished with a creamy béchamel sauce and a layer of grated cheese that, during preparation, creates a golden-brown, crispy gratin topping. The combination of creamy cheese, flavorful ham, and a crispy finish provides a rich and well-balanced taste experience.
