This burger is a tasty take on the traditional French Croque Monsieur sandwich. It has toasted burger buns, juicy beef patties, creamy Dijon-mayo sauce, crispy ham, and melty Gruyre cheese.

Ingredients: 2 burger buns. 4 slices of ham. 4 slices of Gruyre cheese. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. 2 tablespoons butter. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Set your grill or griddle on the stove to medium-high heat to get it ready. Put the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix them together to make a sauce. Put the cut side of one of the burger buns down on the grill or griddle and toast it for a short time. Put them away. Set the pan on medium heat and melt the butter. After you add the ham slices, cook them for two minutes on each side until they begin to get crispy. Take the ham slices out of the pan and set them aside. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper, then put them on the grill or griddle and cook them until they're done the way you like them. For each burger, put a slice of Gruyre cheese on top to melt while they're cooking. Take them off the heat once they're done cooking and the cheese has melted. Spread the Dijon-mayo sauce on the toasted bun halves to make the Croque Monsieur Burgers. On the bottom bun, put a cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Then, add a slice of crispy ham on top of it. Add the other half of the bun on top to finish the burger. Feel free to serve your Classic Croque Monsieur Burgers hot and enjoy!
