The croque-monsieur is a typical French sandwich, grilled and stuffed with ham and cheese. Its peculiarity is the double cheese stuffing: both inside and on the bread’s surface (usually Emmenthal or Gruyère).

This is Chiara’s very own croque-monsieur, made with delicious panettone slices lightly toasted in butter, good, fresh, and tasty Chianina carpaccio to eat for breakfast as well, and a Marchigiana broad bean cream halfway between the panettone’s sweetness and the Chianina’s savoriness. A perfect croque!

Insolito Panettone offers innovative recipes to use the panettone in simple and creative ways, thus creating new sweet and savory dishes.
