500 grams /1.1 pound home easy puff pastry ( • Never buy puff pastry ... )
3 to 4 slice of ham medium thickness
80 grams /2.8 oz grated cheese I used comte but you use any cheese, even blue cheese if you ike)

For the béchamel:
25 grams / 0.8 oz butter
25 grams / 0.8 oz flour
250 ml /1 cup whole milk (full cream)
salt (for the seasoning)
pepper (for the seasoning)

Note: be careful with the amount of salt you add. depending on the type of ham and cheese you use the mixture could become too salty. so if in doubt do not add salt to the béchamel base.

I love it ! This is a Croque Monsieur with puff pastry. I had my first Croque Monsieur in a little cafe' in the village of Fontainbleau years ago. Of course it was not made with puff pastry...but it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I kept seeing that sandwich years ago and remembering the summer day outside the restaurant in Fontainbleau. I'm going to make this for our supper tonight...but with chicken that I roasted yesterday.
Just made this recipe with the puff pastry, amazing. My kids and wife loved it. Make the quick puff pastry, it’s easy and amazing, takes this up several levels. Used some leftover ham from Christmas and it was perfect. It looks like it does in the video and tastes even better than you think it will.
This series of videos is how I'm gonna learn to make myself some homemade gormet hot pockets.... yes...
Stunning recipe Chef. I made your puff pastry recipe and I’ve been looking for something to make with it. My plan is to make the pithivier as you did but with the addition of some sautéed mushrooms. Thank you for the awesome recipe!

That looks so delicious! I have never made a baked sandwich like this…but I am very tempted to make this one!
That looks magnificent. I think I would love a layer of sautéed mushrooms, maybe with caramelized onions with the ham. And... I just realized I'm making a hybrid beef Wellington minus the filet and Dijon mustard!
OMG, THAT IS JUST AWESOME. I LOVE IT.
You had me at ham and cheese. Love the que pop ups. Love the excitment
I, Like ,thanks
Oh yum, yum, yum chef, that looks so absolutely delicious, as I'm sure it is!
Yep, getting up early tomorrow to make the breakfast of champions!

That would be pretty much the tastiest toasted ham and cheese sandwich
That looks fabulous. I can only imagine how good it looks, smells and tastes :)
who else loves a happy french accent?
Totally, totally adorable! The food too! I make many of the recipes here.
Delicious.
Just magic
Parfait, luxueux.
I made your fabulous Vanilla Slice with half of your easy puff pastry and it was so good! I'll be msking this Pithiviers later in the week. I learnt a lot of my cooking know-how from Julia Child's books, but watching your videos has really improved ny game! Thank you

this was perfect for the kind of pie i wanted to make. i added spinach, garlic and onion to the béchamel mix. it's in the oven as i write this, it's gonna be lé aweosme
Thank you papa
Yummy and filling. We had it for lunch today because I had everything to make it. I put it on silpat but realized after that was not a good idea. So I put it back in the oven on the hot sheet to crisp up the Bolton. Problem solved! I also used slices of Swiss cheese instead of grated and it was just fine.
I was cooking with your soubise video when this came up!
I'm surprised you don't have to poke holes in the top. Great recipe, thanks!
Not healthy but I'm drooling...
Superb have been waiting for some thing like this for very long, you explain so smoothly, clearly with subtitles also, will definitely try this.God bless you ❤️❤️

I made somewhat similar, but with dijon in the bottom
I used the pastry and put in shredded duck confit and feta cheese... WOW! Try it. They freeze well too!
My Dad makes something similar but he also added sliced apple. 😋
Scalloped potato in one layer on this sounds good
Looks amazing!!! Can it be freezed prior cooking or with a short baking time to be finished just before eating? I love your channel. 😀

yes you can freeze it before cooking but do not add the egg wash on then.
Hello Sir I saw in your previous post how you made the pastry sheets. I am so happy you made it so simple and easy to make the pastry dough instead of buying from outside or the tedious method others are showing. Sir, we are family of three can I make this with the dimensions of three small plates so that everyone of us have the individual pie. Please respond obliged. Thank you.
As they say, a pithivier a day keeps the doctor away.
Super video! I applauded for A$2.00 👏
OMG. That with tomato soup.
Wow! The song "My heart is a UFO"(goofy, twangy country song)was going through my head when you said that the pie shape looks like a UFO lol! I can't wait to make this, thank you for the recipe.

I’m a very passionate cook. I use the mother sauce very often for different dishes. I love your recipes. I was very impressed with the special whisk you used to prevent clumps. Can you tell me where can I buy one?

Amazon has a whisk, prepworks by progressive 10” flat whisk. It’s 10.79 as I’m sending this. I use this whisk when I make gravies, it works really well. Hopefully that will help.
Reminds me of Moroccan Bestilla with French ingredients. Bestilla they use chicken, walnuts, cinnamon, saffron, and honey or powdered sugar. They use warqua dough which is like phyllo, but this quick puff would be easier to deal with.
That looks fucking awesome. Going to have to make it
Oooolaalaa
Welcome to creamy land? Cracked me up.
This would be delicious with Swiss cheese sauce on the side as well so you can dip slices of ham and cheese pastry into it
Its a big ravioli 😆😋
Looks nice and tasty, Could we use the extra pastry for made some decoration? Like leafs, or shells? Also i should use a very little pinch of sugar after the egg wash... whell at least i think it could work very good together 😆

You can use pears and Brie with honey or you can use pears and chocolate. You can use minced meat for pies. Anything you like as long as it isn't too juicy. And if you use peaches you can add a little tapioca flower to the fruit to thicken the sauce. Cherries prepared for a pie would be delicious!

Brie cheese and strawberries or you could stuff it with sweetened stewed fruits and dust the pastry with powdered sugar once baked. Treat it like a strudel…the possibilities are endless.
This will be even better with a sprinkle of freshly chopped dill in the layers:)
