Crémeux de Chèvre

Pre-heat the oven to 350F
Crémeux de Chèvre
Step 1
Heat the cream over medium low heat. Once it begins to lightly simmer, add the chèvre and the nutmeg. Stir frequently - do not let the cream come to a boil. Let reduce until it thickens. Remove from the stove.
Croque Madame Sandwich
Step 1
Butter the base of one slice of Brioche Bread, set buttered side down. Place a layer of Comté Cheese followed by a layer of ham on top. Ladle a ¼ cup of Crémeux de Chèvre on top of the ham. Top with the second slice of Brioche Bread, buttered on the outside.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick pan with the remaining tbsp of butter over medium heat. Grill the Croque Madame until the Brioche becomes golden on the outside, flip over until the other side is golden and the Comté is slightly melted inside.
Step 3
Remove the sandwich from the pan and set on a greased cookie sheet. Ladle another ¼ cup of Crémeux de Chèvre on top of the sandwich (its okay if it runs down the sides). Cook in the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Two minutes before the Croque Madame is ready to come out of the oven, fry an egg sunny side up in your greased non-stick pan over medium heat, leaving a runny yoke.
Step 5
Remove the Croque Madame from the oven. Set on a plate.
Step 6
Gently set the fried egg on top of the Croque Madame.
Step 7
Sprinkle the small pieces of Langres cheese around the yolk. They will melt beautifully into the egg with the heat of the dish.Serve immediately. Bon Appétit!
