  Instead of using mustard at the start of the recipe, I made a Welsh rarebit with mustard ,cream and a dash of worceter sauce then spread on the ham lightly and followed the rest of the recipe. A slight change but very tasty

  This isn't exactly an authentic Croque Madame - you're missing the Gruyere Cheese and the sauce, made with melted butter, flour, nutmeg, salt, pepper and grated Gruyere cheese.

  Never mind Bruce if it's not exactly authentic, it is still quick, easy and tasty and I didn't have any gruyere cheese to hand. As has already been suggested it is quite a good lunch idea and it doesn't take long.
