"In the summer, nobody wants a dense and greasy sandwich, but in the fall the floodgates are open — bring on the calories! The croque madame is a Parisian brasserie classic that one-ups the croque monsieur by tossing a runny egg on top, guaranteeing you’ve got to eat this baby with a knife and fork. Bechamel coats the top, and inside find ham and melted gruyere, salty and gooey, $25." - Robert Sietsema
