crocque madame / monsieur / mademoiselle

These are three popular snacks served in street cafes in France and Belgium.

Crocque madame is a ham and cheese toast-sandwich, topped with a fried egg.
Replace the toast with a buckwheat pancake and you have a savory crêpe de Bretagne.

Leave out the fried egg to get crocque monsieur.
Replace the cheese with lettuce to get a calorie-aware crocque mademoiselle.

Pic4: crocque mademoiselle

Layer toasted bread, ham and cheese, toasted bread, ham and cheese.
Optional: make it a triple-decker. (Pic2)
For crocque mademoiselle, use lettuce instead of cheese and serve.
For crocque monsieur / madame, microwave or bake au gratin to melt the cheese.
For crocque monsieur, serve and enjoy.
For crocque madame, fry an egg separately, add it on top.
The egg apparently reminded people of a type of lady's hats in the olden times, hence the name.
Enjoy.
