Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 pinch Grated nutmeg
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 ounces Sliced ham
• 4 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs and mix in 2 tablespoons heavy cream and melted butter.

Step 4

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until well incorporated, forming a dough.

Step 5

Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape them into flat discs, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Place the dough discs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.

Step 8

Whisk in 0.5 cup heavy cream, 1 pinch grated nutmeg, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Add the Parmesan cheese gradually while whisking, until the sauce thickens. Stir in Dijon mustard, then remove from heat.

Step 10

To assemble the Croque Monsieur, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on two slices of baked bread.

Step 11

Layer 2 ounces of sliced ham and 2 ounces of sliced Swiss cheese on each prepared bread slice.

Step 12

Top with the remaining two slices of baked bread. Press down gently to form the sandwiches.

Step 13

Place the sandwiches on an oven-safe dish, spoon remaining béchamel sauce over the sandwiches, and sprinkle with additional Swiss cheese if desired.

Step 14

Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and the top is golden brown.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
