- Next time you've got a need for cheese, try Jacques Pépin's recipe for croque monsieur. This French bistro version of a sandwich classic is even simpler than an American grilled cheese. Instead of standing at the stove and flipping, this sandwich slides into the oven after assembly, baking at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. A homey lunchtime favorite.
What you'll need:
4 slices of bread, 4 slices of Swiss cheese, 4 slices of ham, 4 tsp butter

This man feels like a family member to me. It is always the little things with him that fascinate me like cutting the ham in half so the bread edge has a straight edge of ham. Watching him alone is like Christmas Day. Watching him and Julia together was liking having two Christmas days in one.
When he did that I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't help but start laughing with glee. For some reason it just makes me so happy. Then also like him just saying "things change" and snapping up a loose piece of ham in the same breath I was cracking up
Couldn’t agree more. Started watching him on local PBS as a newlywed and continued through all of his series since (especially his show with Julia), some several times now. He’s an enduring treasure. Highly recommend his book “The Apprentice” too!
Do this with your omelets. Semi circle omelet in an 8 inch pan, line up the right angle of the quarter circle with opposite bread corners. I do mine with cheese and jalapeño sauce.
What is (Islam ❤️) ?
Islam is the name of the religion, or more properly the ‘way of life’, which God (Allah) has revealed and which was practiced by all of the Prophets and Messengers of God that He sent to mankind. Even the name stands out unique among other
distorted religions in that it means a state of being; it does not refer to any particular person, such as Christianity, Buddhism or Zoroastrianism; a tribe like Judaism; or a nation like Hinduism. The root Arabic word from which Islam is derived implies peace, safety, salutation, protection, blamelessness, wholesomeness, submission, acceptance, surrender, and salvation. Islam specifically means being in the state of submission to God, worshipping Him Alone, and reverently accepting and obeying His Law. Through this submission, the peace, security, and wholesome well-being implied in its literal meaning is achieved. Hence, a Muslim or Muslimah is a person (male or female) in that state of submission. A person’s Islam weakens through sins, ignorance, and wrong-doing, and becomes nullified in totality by associating partners with God or disbelieving in Him.
@@user-ij4yi6mb1f But in Islam I can't eat ham and such can't make Croque Monsieur. I'm sorry but I'll have to go with Croque Monsieur.
I love the way that he says "Things change" and leaves it at that, instead of being hung up in the past.
I could watch Mr. Pepin all day.
Of course, you'd have to stop for a lunch break....or two.
Me 2
Me too 🥹
Me too!
Same. I wish people were still like him.
“…but you know, things change.” Indeed they do.
everything changes except change itself
I find this man incredibly comforting
My favorite thing is how casually he brings up old school definitions of things, like how a croque madam was just chicken and there was no egg involved. No spite, no bitterness.
"things change"
I was eating in my hotel in Bogota Colombia years ago and look up to see Jacques Pepin sitting at the table next to me. I had to say hello He was very nice
He's genuinely kind. What a treat to bump into him!
Jacques is a national treasure. If I had to choose one celebrity chef to teach children to cook, it would be him. He's not bombastic, flamboyant, or edgy. He doesn't intimidate or posture. Instead, he conveys simplicity without dumbing-down the need for technique and good ingredients. He also does this FAST, in real time! But, his true magic comes from the way he weaves in the tradition, sentiment, and cultural significance of these foods. My mother is 92 and when she watches Jacques its as if she is watching a member of her own family. I wish we had more of this spiritual generosity in the programs we watch.
You got it , for me he is cooking at its purest form in beauty. He is my family.
But he’s not….
I totally love the lack of "Bam!!!!" or any of the other affectations so common with many people cooking for social media.
And the way he casually accepts that the Croque Madame has changed over the years...too many chefs have this ridiculous rigid thinking, that the first incarnation of a dish is the ONLY way it can ever be served, and here's this dude, a legit French gourmet chef, just casually brushing it off like "yeah, things change, whatever"...so much respect
@@ViperT24 I agree in principle, but what you suggest couldn't be an absolute in history. Ingredients change over time due to a variety of reasons. Cuisine would never evolve and we would be eating the same stuff today that they had centuries ago.
0:34 I love how he carefully slices the first piece of ham and when we need a little more he just rips the second piece! So wonderful!
Wtf 🤦🏻♂️
pulled pork
Support public broadcasting without it we would have never have been introduced to a gem like Mr. Pepin.
Public broadcasting was the only place you could get cooking shows years ago. Jacque, Julia, Graham Ker, Jeff Smith, and others used to have shows.
I love how the French make the most basic things seem so luxurious. “I present to you a la ham and ch-I mean croque monsieur.”
😆
I mean croque monsieur just means a "Mr Crispy" or "Mr Crunchy." It doesn't sound luxurious to a French person
@@avecsellerswell, the monsieur part.. .. calling a ham and cheese sandwich Mr 😁
@avecsellers well no shit
Thank a lot good video
I’m so impressed, the sign of true genius is simplicity
I love the left over crusts with a bowl of split pea n ham soup.
I didn't know about Chef Pepin until I saw something where Anthony Bourdain mentioned him. Now I watch/ listen to his videos to calm my brain. What a treasure I missed out on but it's been great getting to know him the last few years through these videos. 😊
Sounds like that you have a lot of catching up to do. He not only cooks, but he also does art work as well plus he has cook books out on the market for people to buy, enjoy, and learn from.😊
@@mham1330
Two of his books are fundamental to cooking
Almost every knowledgeable chef I ever met are aware of his influence
He's terrific. I just caught on a couple years ago as well, hehe. He was a chef for two French presidents, and invited to cook for the White House by Mrs Kennedy . .
This is the first video I have seen with Mr. Pepin. I am a fan.
Jacques has such a passion for cooking, but also for teaching. He is a treasure!
I sould love this sandwich with mustard and pickles.
@@elusivelectronadd pulled pork and you’ve got a crunchy Cubano.
So simple, yet once again I learned something new (cutting the ham for a straight edge). Loved how easily Jacques noted how things change over time when talking about Croque Madame and todays egg on top vs. the chicken filling he was familiar with from back in the day.
You ever cease to inspire. Thank you Chef!
Other cooking channels: "here's a recipe that takes 20 ingredients and 2 hours time
Jacque's channel: "Here's a 4 ingredient sandwich that takes 15 minutes"
❤
I mean... it's a sandwich, not a French onion soup
He's got an easy French Onion soup you should check out. Easy and really doesn't take much time nor "effort" really. @@yankis.
I'd simply inhale that. Merci beaucoup Monsieur Pépin!
Only Jacques Pépin can make a ham-and-cheese toastie look like a gourmet meal.
I tried, it's actually better with a kraft single lmao
Kraft single? 🤮
@@rick1368 don't tell the French! They'll be insulted 😅 you must use formage
I remember when I used to watch him on PBS, I also ran out and bought his cookbooks! I love you Mr. Pepin; thank you for so many wonderful recipes and wonderful recipes - my heart feels warm and happy to see you here - you also make me remember my mom and dad, who were both huge fans of yours!
Always nice to see him in new videos... just an absolute legend.
THANK YOU MR. PEPIN for all you have done 🫡
Youngest son's favorite lunchtime!
one of my favorite sandwiches done by my favorite chef ♡
Adorable old man making a snack
I made these with a soft fried egg in the centre and jam dip(for me) for hungover chefs on Sunday mornings, I never knew it was an actual recipe. 40 years later thanks to JP I realize they were humouring me
Thank you for so many years of your teachings, Monsieur Pépin! ❤❤
He is a gift for humanity. Food is how we show love. Thank you 😊
Jacques Pepin is my favorite chef of all time.
Thank you Chef Pepin! ❤
“Things change” yes Jacques they sure do 🤍
I'm so happy Jaques is back on RUclips!!! ❤
Só simple and straightforward. Besides it's always good to watch Mr. Pepin. Thanks for posting this
He can make any dish seem more elegant than it even realized it was 😀 Toasted ham and cheese in the oven… yummm. ( and not as messy!) Pepin style. Presenting The Croque Monsieur ❤️❤️❤️
Easy Croque Monsieur of the gods!!! That looks good!!!
Grandma is really lucky to have him
Simple and delicious...thank you Mr. Pepin.
I love Jacques Pepin 😊
The anticipation for these videos never gets old. Keep them coming!
Watching Mr. Pepin the whole day. Thanks Chef.
Never have I ever been so mesmerised by a ham and cheese toastie
I never really toast ham and cheese sandwich
I’ve never seen anything browned so perfectly and evenly
I love Mr. Pepin! I’ve watched him since I was a child.
It's always a pleasure to see the master at work.
The color on that bread is delightful
Such good memories of watching him in my grandmother's kitchen on a tiny black and white TV broadcast from our local PBS station ❤
Thank you Jacques for all that you do.
My daughter and l don't like béchamel and l do my croque monsieur like this since 40 years.... She is 11 and me 56
Always loved he snacks on the trimmings.
Thank You, Monsieur Pepin!! 👍
So lovely and simple. I love the variations that add bechamel to the bread and grilled and baked with melted cheese on the top.
Just came home from a 12h shift, all i wanted to see is a good man making a Croque Monsieur and i wish i had one right now.
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, Chef Pépin! You, Sir, are a Legend!
I can't get over how perfectly even the browning is. I'm definitely gonna try the oven next time.
I thought the same, bet I can't do that first time, but I will try. Lol
LOVE THIS SANDWICH
Watching his videos make my day better.
God bless this man
Professional,beautiful,appetizing!Thank you!👑👌
Magnifique ce repas Jacques 🙏🙏🙏
Wow!! The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking "ok, grilled ham and cheese just with a fancy French word" then he throws a curve ball and bakes it and trims it and totally takes it to a whole new level!! I shouldn't be amazed because OfCourse this is Jacques Pepin we are talking about, and I adore him. He never disappoints!! Jacques if you're ever in Central Florida I'll treat to the best restaurant money can buy 🙂 xoxox
He doesn't want to go to Wendys
😂😂😂😂 Seriously cutting the crust off is throwing a curve ball to you and baking it OMG have you been living under a rock your whole life this is the worst example of a croak monsieur ever
So many of my favourite cooks I learnt from Peppin. He is a god.
Thanks you Jacques 🙏🤩👌
Always learn something. Thank you.
Ahhh yumm. The butter and cheese keeps Jacques young.
Looks delish. Easy Peasy. Thank you for the quick to make cheese and ham sandwich or bites to pass around. 🙂
Love Mr. and Mrs. Crunchy
A true master.
I'm learning so much, such a fun video.
2023 Jacques Pepin chef Jacques Pepin master class classes recpite favorite dishing food
I love Jacque so much. This is somehow so nosalgic, even though I don't know him, never ate this sandwich, and didn't know who he was until 5 days ago.
You will always be able to read his books. Start with The Apprentice.
Seriously?😮 his lengdary omelet is a master class and he used to cooked for French president
Love his voice! I could listen to him talk all day😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊‼️❤️😊
i love jacques pepin
ive watched this 50x, easily. i'll never get tired of it.
Cooking made simple. Love it. Making it tomorrow.
Happy cooking!
I love him so much
Merci Jacques
mmmm Monsieur Jacques, you make it look so simple and yet so delicious. Thank you.
Oftentimes our greatest national treasures are imported. Thanks for keeping it real, Jacques.
I've just discovered this guy, fantastic, thank you RUclips.
Ohlalala mais chef Pépin est un maitre de l'ASMR! Incroyable ! Video supdr relaxante et qui donne faim!
Such a simple yet great tasting meal
Lol, I used to take care of an elderly lady whose husband was French, and lived in France for a while. She love this. It means a man rolled up in a blanket of bread!
Thanks again, Chief Chef!
Merci .!
Bon appétit 😋
I make sure to have this when I'm in paris. Yum.😊
Thank you chef
Love this. A great way to prepare ham and cheese. 🙂
Thank you!
Jacques Pepin could pour tap water in a glass and I'm sure it would be delicious. Great man!
love you omg thank you.
He makes it the OG way. For the better part of the last quarter of a decade, croque monsieurs at most restaurants/cafes have had cheese melted on top.
Jacques, I've been watching you for years now, old videos and new. You, are my favorite chef. You take your time, make complicated processes simple, and have taught me so much through out the years. Thank you for still sharing your passion. We all appreciate it, and many of us will hand down what we learn from you. Cheers, to Jacques!
You’re the best!!
The croque monsieurs that I ate in France were toasted like this, but there was a layer of bechamel and extra cheese on the top. So good!
I’ve gotten the bechamel version more often in Belgium than in France to be honest, but both are great in their own way. Crispy or creamy, just do what you like!
Croque monsieur is with bechamel. Thats how its always been, without it, it's a ham and cheese sandwich.
@@shadowblack1987 Bechamel instead of butter?
@@shadowblack1987 so to be clear, You are correcting Jacques Pepin on a French dish?
@@Genlsis @shadowblack1987 in the words of Bourdain: "I feel that if Jacques Pepin shows you how to make an omelet, the matter is pretty much settled. That's God talking." Furthermore: "When Jacques Pepin tells you this is how you do it? That’s how you f------- do it!"
Looks great, I'm gonna try to make it myself
Fabulous jacques. Love from Montreal Quebec.
Fabulous
I dont know why, but this man amazes me!
This professional still at 87! Personal chef of Charles de Gaulle AND friend of Julia Child. What a time to see him still cooking.
This “Cooking at Home” series has been his best work as far as media goes. I loved watching him and Julia, but this series is more practical.
Excelente!
