THE CLASSIC FRENCH BISTRO SANDWICH - CROQUE MONSIEUR
My two versions of this classic French café/bistro sandwich - oven baked for large quantities and ease.......or, the traditional frying pan/skillet method! You can always rely upon the French to add a certain "je ne sais quoi" to even the simplest food ...including the humble cheese and ham sandwich. The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafés & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafés! This one works for me. But, please be warned ... it's not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!

Steps:
- Spread the bread with some of the softened butter, make 4 sandwiches, each with one slice of ham and one slice of cheese. Press them firmly together.
- Beat the eggs with the water, add the salt and pepper to taste, and dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, coating all sides well.
- Heat the rest of the butter in a heavy- bottomed frying pan/skillet, when it has melted and is very hot - but not brown, fry the sandwiches for about 5 - 8 minutes, turning once.
- Serve immediately.
- If you prefer, although it is not traditional, you may place the croque-monsieur into a very well-buttered baking pan and bake in a moderately hot oven - 175°C/350°F - turning once, for about 10 to 15 minutes. It is easier to prepare a larger number this way and keep them warm until you are ready to serve them.

DOUGHNUT PAN EGG SANDWICHES
Doughnut pans take up a lot of kitchen real estate for something that gets used, say, twice a year. Still, we love 'em, which is why we dreamed up another great way to put a doughnut pan to work: For baked eggs in the perfect shape to pop on a bagel.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly coat a 6-cavity nonstick doughnut pan with nonstick spray.
- Crack the eggs into a large liquid measuring cup and whisk until no streaks remain; sprinkle with salt. Divide the eggs among the cavities of the doughnut pan and top with the bacon and chives. Carefully place the pan on a sheet tray and bake until the eggs are set and slightly puffed up, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove the eggs from the doughnut pan.
- Meanwhile, split open the bagels. Top the bottom halves with American cheese pieces and transfer to a sheet tray. Spread the top halves with butter and place them butter-side down on the sheet tray. Bake until the cheese is melted and the buttered bagels are starting to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Top the cheese half of a bagel with an egg ring and drizzle on some ketchup. Season with salt and pepper and cover with the butter half of the bagel. Repeat with the remaining bagels, egg rings and ketchup to make 5 more sandwiches.
