Trim the crusts from the bread. Spread two slices with butter and place in the oven for 5–7 minutes until lightly toasted.

Step 2
Prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a pan, add flour and stir. Pour in the milk, add Dijon mustard and grated Parmesan. Stir until smooth.
Spread sauce on the remaining two slices of bread. Layer ham, grated cheese, and toasted bread on top. Place the toasts in the oven for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.

Step 3
Prepare a fried egg in butter, being careful not to break the yolk. Place it on top of one of the toasted bread slices — this is a croque-madame with a hat. The second toast without egg — this is a croque-monsieur.
