A dairy-free twist on the classic Croque Madame, featuring a rich coconut-based béchamel sauce, ham, and a perfectly fried egg on top.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 8 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 8 slices Dairy-free cheese slices

- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Prepare the coconut béchamel: In a saucepan, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in coconut milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- 2Spread a thin layer of coconut béchamel on each slice of sourdough bread.
- 3Assemble the sandwiches: Top 4 slices of bread with dairy-free cheese and ham. Cover with the remaining bread slices.
- 4Spread more coconut béchamel on top of each sandwich.
- 5Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- 6While the sandwiches are baking, fry the eggs in olive oil to your liking (sunny-side up or over-easy).
- 7Top each baked sandwich with a fried egg and serve immediately.
