How to make.... Croque Madame!

My first memories of Paris involve ordering a Croque Madame at little cafe and being in awe of this simple yet classic French cafe snack. Eaten with a simply dressed salad it’s a thing of beauty! Get the recipe here: www.donalskehan.com/recipes/cr...

I love how you react when you taste the food you make. A very satisfying thing to watch especially when it does not look forced. Food makes people happy. In my opinion at least. Its one of a few things that brings people together besides music. Watching your videos are a highlight of my week, even if i have to watch one I've already seen. So, thank you.

[@aluminumfoil77]

Every time he takes a bite I get so jealous! I just want to be eating that right now! It looks delicious! 😍

[@jibe92]

As a french guy, i can give you a tip : as the bechamel is quite difficult to do proper, you can use crême fraiche instead. It is woeking perfectly and taste awesome. And it takes half the time ;). I love this channel. I cook myself quite a lot as soon as i find some time and still want to try ur tarte tatin recipe..keep going. :)

[@FireCracker3240]

Thank you, French Guy! Great tip. 😊😊

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Why is bechamel difficult? I've never found it to be difficult.

[@LeeKuanYew_]

Ingrid Dubbel Yes it’s very easy for me

[@realityorfiction]

its not difficult, its basically the mac n cheese cause without cheese lol

[@silviasoria9186]

Gracias por el consejo me parece mucho más fácil 🇺🇾😋😜

[@laszlohorvath8637]

Love your energy and passion for food! Thanks for sticking to the content. You keep us interested throughout the entire show! 🙏

[@manehkocharyan8797]

[@poppyseed7565]

Bonjour ! Your'recipe of Croque Madame is just perfect ! Way better than classic recipes we use in France ^^ Love it, bravo for this beautiful work ! Poppy

[@celinedelahoy8447]

My sister and I both had one of these each this evening, and it was the best sandwich we ever have. Thanks, Donal

[@ArgaAnders]

If you want to irish it up a bit, dunk the bread in eggs whisked up with a bit of Guinness before cooking it in a scillet! Then add the toppings and give it a few minutes in hot oven! Voíla: A Croque Caoilfhoinn!

[@mahnoorkhan4997]

[@sunitafisher4758]

Chong Yang 🌸 omg that’s too funny 😂 I do the very same thing, good thing I can make a wicked croque madame 😋

[@ElizaA12345]

Lol

[@benwarner5261]

Recipe worked really good. Works even better when topped with a small amount of crispy pancetta! 👌

[@kipper2385]

I live in France and I've never seen let alone had such a delicious Croque, well done Chef.

[@kmjohnny]

I tried eating Croque Madame before, and it was delicious. Now, it's time to bring it together at home.

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

Donal you made me hungry. Great video. Many thanks!

[@GoalieByAl]

Wow! Great recipe sir! Looking forward to making it.

[@rohini13]

This looks super delicious..😋 also those butter cubes I love how they look it's satisfying for me in a weird way..!❤

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

It's kerrygold butter and it delicious. That brand of butter is available in the USA but for some reason tastes better when you are in Ireland.

[@yoxcasmu8827]

Just did it and they are amazing!

[@annmarie6378]

Can't wait to try this one...

[@dipalikalal5892]

[@momyluvsu2]

Donal Skehan putting burning hot food in his mouth every episode.

[@TheMackiebaby]

[@crimsonjade]

How the heck does he do it? The steam's just leaving the fork!

[@fatemehkashef7065]

😂😂😂

[@myking8807]

[@sarnabdasgupta5376]

really like the recipe it is delicious

[@barnasagreffin5494]

Well executed 👌🏾❤️😍

[@karend4055]

Sorry Donal. I did some checking and you were correct. Why do I question you? The Madame is the sandwich with the fried egg on top. The Monsieur is the same sandwich without the egg. I learn something new every day.

[@genebebvalenzuela8445]

I love it

[@pratikudmale3053]

Really! France Is Awesome! Très belle recette et belle vidéo. Gardez-le sur vous Rockstar !

[@sezgisaylgan8395]

Best evet recipe 😋 when I prepare croque madam my sister eats her fingers. Thanks a lot Donal 💓

[@BaninjaGames]

“A little bit of gruyere on top“ and he puts two kg on it :D

[@prva9347]

Could've done with more cheese :-) I wondered if he was going to put cheese on top of the bechamel sauce.

[@maidryl6337]

i am so making this tomorrow morning for me and my boyfriend! I`ll post the results! thank you for the recipe

[@michaelraymond5048]

[@poupy2694]

Excellent ! Bravo :)

[@geetanjalirai7676]

You my boy are just wonderful

[@darthyves]

Awesome video!

[@josef596]

I just can’t take my eyes off the bristle on the bread.

[@rofrje83]

Looks amazing! Doesn't the bread get extremely dry after being in the oven so many times?

[@farheenkhan2873]

Nice 👌

[@johndelany8912]

Fantastic! Wonderng if Brioche can be used and get the same result?

[@FireCracker3240]

Oh no! A basting brush fiber fell off onto the bread @ 1:08! Regardless, it looks delicious and can't wait to make it... with turkey instead of ham. ❤

[@Greenhalehale]

OMG YES AND AFTER ITS TOASTED ITS STILL THERE AND ITS BUGGING ME.

[@FireCracker3240]

I know! I tried to forget I saw it, but I just couldn't. :-( I wish I didn't see the small details, but I always seem to.

[@TARDISJACKED]

Every time I saw that, it bugged me out. Wish I did notice all those small details.

[@bulman07]

I saw that too! But I thought it had been taken off before the grill! 🤪

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

It happens - get over it.

[@Ram-kb9on]

Bonjour! And what, it's all my favorites, toast eggs, ham, cheese, mustard :)) Yum!!

[@omarlopez510]

Marinated Beef I was on that part right after read your comment

[@marinatedbeef1683]

Omar Lopez, I know, missed a few ingredients but you get me, ha :)

[@omarlopez510]

Marinated Beef that is not what meant, I meant that as soon as I read your comment the part came right after

[@SleeplessinOC]

Oh dang I’m hungry !!!

[@jeffward1106]

I like your take better than the deep fried French toast style. Thanks, you are more relavant to the real world.

[@mikevaluska7313]

Not the same as a Monte Cristo(the deep fried one).

[@frankcrosio3775]

at 3:54 are you adding freshly grated nutmeg into the Bechamel sauce/

[@qufeng49]

I don't have an oven, but I want this so badly!

[@cadewhitesell9612]

I have never not enjoyed anything you’ve made XD You’re so talented :D

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Double negative

[@jujubees]

As chef John always says "Hot roux, cold milk=no lumps". No needs to trickle the milk in, you can just dump it in one go and then whisk and no lumps will from. I tried it and got no lumps.

[@vijay20]

when did you get old my dear donal!?!

[@potatobanana8032]

will this go well with your tomato soup as breakfast

[@franslam7398]

I'm seriously missing out because when it comes to sandwiches I'm an instant-gratificationist (not a word) in that I need to be able to put fillings between slices of bread and eat it within 5 minutes of making it. There's so much prep to this sandwich that I just don't have the patience (or discipline). If it's a proper meal, I can easily put in the work. But a sandwich? That's a snack to me. Looks amazing though.

[@cookwithshoppingbloggersjo8176]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing

[@sarahlanonyme1910]

Oooooooh 😍😍😍 Your French accent omg 🤤🤤😍😍😭

[@laura-tl6oe]

hes not french- kewfhjkehfk

[@laurendooley7292]

Could you recommend some dishes that can be made the night before and will reheat well in a microwave in work the next day?

[@maelys.j.d]

You can search for "Gratin dauphinois" recipe. Also a french classic and sooo delicious

[@ammuparvathy8471]

Wow that steamy fork!!!!!!!!

[@merveyilmaz1081]

Offf harika oldu

[@riyamitraministries]

Can this be made vegetarian? Love your veggie recipes 😊

[@alanbutler9627]

Dear Chef, Aren't the proportions of butter and flour equal to make a roux? You seemed to say that the flour is less..

[@gamergnomegardens3538]

when I first saw this video, it was also the first time I saw one of your videos, so when I heard you speaking french, I was like "huh... crap" but then you started to talk in english. I be like " YYYAAAAYY"
