Croque Madame Recipe
Croque Madame is the French cafe classic that makes any weekend brunch feel deliberately special — layers of ham and melted Gruyere between golden, béchamel-soaked bread, crowned with a perfectly runny fried egg that brings the whole thing together in one very good bite.
Ingredients
2 strips diced bacon
2 1/4 cup milk
1 pkg (6 oz.) Pioneer® Buttermilk Biscuit & Baking Mix
1 cup shredded white cheese
4 ea sliced and toasted sourdough bread
2 tbsp butter

This Croque Madame Recipe uses Pioneer Baking Mix to achieve the golden, tender toast base that supports every layer of this iconic French sandwich and makes brunch at home something genuinely worth waking up for.
