ISO Croque Monsuier/Madame

[loreeLB]

Saw this on a food show and now am craving it! I don't mind making it but wondering if there is any place in the LA/LB/OC area that serves it and does it justice?

It's not at all traditional, but I absolutely love the Croque Madame at Hatfields. Hamachi tuna, brioche, and quail's egg - insanely delicious.

Hi loreeLB!

In LA, Monsieur Marcel at the Farmer’s Market offers scrumptious croque monsieurs/madames, however, I prefer his signature croque marcel made with smoked turkey.

In OC, Anepalco’s makes a slightly non-traditional, yet delicious croque monsieur along with a host of other wondrous bites.

Saving the best for last - when you want something over-the-top, indulge yourself in Marche Moderne’s croque monsieur a cheval made with ham, aged gruyere, white truffle and topped with chanterelles and a quail’s egg. Utterly divine.

The one at Campanile's grilled cheese nights (Thursday) is usually a good bet.

Thought the Croque Madame I had at Amandine was excellent.

Bouchon in Beverly Hills

Bouchon's croques used to be the gold standard for me but now I give the slight edge to the ones at Church & State - both served with great fries.

The one at Comme Ca is one of my favorite brunch dishes ever. I get the croque madmae because I love dipping bites in the runny egg yoke.

[wilafur]

the croque madame has egg.

[mollyomormon]
