Full Recipe: www.joshuaweis...
Frenchman here: We usually make the croque monsieur (pronounced croque meussieu, you're not far off Josh :D) with toast bread as it's much easier. My mum's recipe is with grated emmental and cream on the top and then stick it in the oven and it works just great. You didn't mention the croque madame with the sunny side up egg on top and that's just the best (add a drop of vinegar on the egg for fanciness). Love your content!
To make it easy for our US friends, pronounce it 'croc muh-siuh'. Also agree with you here the US version looks more like ours. The french version here looks like an italian bruschetta with another piece of bread on top. (both look delicious anyway Josh)
Pronounced what? My bad I can't hear what you typed bro
@@arpeegee_studio French here too ! Yes it looks more like a double bruschetta with cheese supplement. Same bread for both would have been a good match :D.
Pretty sure said sandwich has bèchamel on it not mornay
Morney sauce instead of just Bechamel is very weird
My mum recipe was sandwich bread, bechamel, ham, grated emmental, close it, then bechamel and emmental on top, in the oven to cook it, no toasting
It's fun to compare stuff but in reality, if any of us were to see these grilled cheese side by side we'd be like "Wow! Two grilled cheese!!" and be filled with joy being able to eat two grilled cheese.
F
Don't lie. We'd probably be filled with 1, 2 maybe 15 servings of grilled cheese
You are absolutely correct.
@ first and foremost kudos for spelling Caucasian correctly, don't know if you used speech to text or you knew and wrote the word down from memory but at least you got it correct. Second, you are correct my friend!
@ you don’t deserve anything because of your skin. Nobody is entitled to anything. This dude is successful because he’s talented and entertaining. Not because of his race. Get lost with that racist bs.
I had this at an open air restaurant close to the University in Austin almost 50 years ago. I have been making it ever since. Sourdough bread, cream cheese, Emmentaler, and tomato slices. Delicious! Of course there are many variations and I have made many of them.

I've never had a croque monsieur, but it looks delicious. That being said, if you toast some bread and melt some cheese, I'm all about it. Bonus points for a bit of tomato soup on the side.
Nooooo. GUMBO!
@@Bigg_Redd Can't ever turn down a good gumbo
lets have a guess... you're canadian?
@@lg3988 don't know about Jaka but I'm straight outta New Orleans baby!
@@Jakawak especially my gumbo. I have 2 kinds of gumbo, the "takes one day to make" quick gumbo and the "3 day slap a bitch" gumbo!
I once got a Croque Madame, which is a Croque Monsieur with a small circle of the bread cut out and a poached egg nesting within. It definitely made the sandwich even better.
French here: it’s not a croque madame, a sunny side up egg is supposed to be on top of a croque monsieur
@@yeeheehoo you're right! Same here in Belgium!
@@yeeheehoo The Monsieur is dipped in egg before being cooked (Sometimes, almost like a French toast), and the Madame is when the Egg is cooked and placed onto the sandwich.
Try making your own. No need to go out for them. Even if you use pedestrian ham and just sharp cheddar and Swiss as your cheese choices they taste great. Comte is my preferred cheese.
@@Kingfisher1215 I had to make one in culinary school. Pretty darn good. Comte eh? I'll have to try that sometime.
The way me and my friend likes to make a grilled cheese sandwhich is with provolone cheese, and white American cheese, (not the same as normal american!) On sour dough, Cook it the same withe butter grilling like in this video, and it is TO DIE FOR,.
While good with the classic tomato soup/bisque, and you'd never think it , but having a side of raspberry preserves/jelly to dip your sandwich is compliment the cheese so well, you'd never think it would be good, it probably sounds weird, but NO that jam with the provolone+white american grilled Cheese sandwhich is SO great. if anyone sees this comment, try it! you will not regret it!
You should try a Monte Cristo sandwich
You should try better English too
my dad is french but moved to england as a young adult, he’s a chef and food is one of the ways he brings france to us. this sandwich means so much to me because it’s so good and super nostalgic. i really appreciate this :)))
Cheese toasties are different because they are cooked in a sandwich toaster which seals the sides shut
Yup. Gotta get the breville out!
Oui
Not always mate
Yep, the texture is completely different, the inside gets way hotter, and if you use tomatoes you can get a little charred roast tomato flavour going into the crust as the centre heats up to the level of a nuclear reactor.
@@AlienMidget123 Agree. A cheese toastie is still a cheese toastie if you do it under the grill, in a pan or a in panini press.
Here in the Netherlands it’s very common for people to have a panini press at home for our version of a grilled cheese. We usually make them with white bread or any leftover old bread and always with ham and Gouda cheese.
Yeah but no; we just slap on any cheese we have leftover in the fridge.
I miss tostis!!
I'm much more of a salami grilled cheese guy. But yeah, we do the ham business. You'll also see a lot of people add some pineapple on the side. Maybe purely to enrage the italians, maybe cause Ham and Pineapple are delicious.
A toastie (at least how I've always had it) is made in a toastie maker. It's a heated press that turns the bread into a sealed sandwich. Otherwise it's just cheese on toast with a lid. No wrong way to make it. This is just my family and I make them. 😅
I really wanna get a toastie maker, they are so good. ham + cheese + tomato toastie is frikn amazing.
Beans and cheese in a toastie is nostalgic. Burns the mouth of you but wooo
Something about the childhood nostalgia. It’s like the scene in Ratatouille when the critic takes a bite of the perfectly executed ratatouille and is transported back to his childhood. Beauty in simplicity
There's also the francesinha, from Porto, Portugal. It's a sandwich with: steak, ham, linguiça (a kind of sausage), topped with cheese and melted, and covered in a beer and tomato-based sauce and has a fried egg on top, too.
I was hoping someone would mention francesinha. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten in my life.
Suddenly Portugal caralho!
goddammit that sounds good
didn't even know, obrigado ;)
That would be an interesting one for Joshua to try, and with the load it has, it would appeal to Americans , I guess?
by the way did you knew that francesinha literaly means litle french lady and it was inspired by croque madame witch is a croque-monsieur with a sunnyside up egg on top
The american grilled cheese is the croque monsieur we'd make at home (with ham of course). The mornay sauce and sour dough is the type you'd expect when going for a quick lunch at a bistrot before heading back to work.
@ ah, I was wondering where your bigoted self was going to pop up again.
@ nice bait post lol
@ What is it that you think people watch cooking channels for?
@ Funny, I didn't see that anywhere in the user agreement.
That’s an American croque-monsieur…
The basic croque in France is ham/cheese inside the toast slices and voila.
The mornay topping is for restaurants.
So your American grilled ham and cheese was actually close to what a basic French croque should be.
Ham slices and emmental/gruyère slices (or grated). Butter outside. That’s it.
This! I never had a croque monsieur with sauce. It was just ham and cheese, even at the restaurants I went to. Although, I do like a croque madame more, the egg is just so good with it.
A croque madame is also great
Cheers from San Diego California
Most of the time, I get a bechamel on top, even in frozen croque monsieur, there's bechamel and a "gratin" on top So i guess it depends on where you get your croque's
Yeah biggest difference from the American version is the cheese.
Yeah that first one was closer to what a croque monsieur is than that crazy complexion full of sauce
really impressed not just with the cooking but also the video editing, keep em coming!
Josh can make even a simple sandwich look hot af
Because he fries them..
@@HysjMysj Toasts them :/
And it really isn’t that hard you can make (almost) anything look fantastic with some skill and/or techniques.
@@Chewy_Toast oh yeah, fuck
@ Man, you really need to quit being racist on literally every video recently.
Simply as a video, this one was so entertaining. Made my day. Never thought to make a French version of grilled cheese. Merci.
I made a croque monsieur with a croissant from my local bakery.
It was a spiritual experience.
Then it becomes a "croissant au jambon", delicious! (it literally translates to croissant with ham lol)
The croque monsieur is a great sandwich, to enjoy culinarily with great taste and preparation. A great sandwich on it's own merit.
The american grilled cheese just takes you back to when you were a kid, times were simpler, and you only had to worry about getting homework done and when the next great video game would be released.
As a French, the croque monsieur brings me back to my childhood. But I get what you say
Actually, us brits have something called a Welsh Rarebit. It's basically toast with mornaise (or a different cheese sauce) on it popped in the oven until bubbling. It's often eaten as either breakfast or lunch.
im from ireland and my mum makes that its so good
I love Welsh rarebit!! I had no idea it came from the UK
Grew up in America eating Welsh Rarebit. It's delicious!
@@pingpong2978 The welsh bit should be a bit of a giveaway...
Eating along as he's making food? That's life right there! You make awesome content and recipes!
Adding thin sliced onions into a grilled cheese sandwich also adds a giant level of flavor
The British toastie is identical to the American grilled cheese except we use cheddar cheese in the middle. I've made the American version with the American cheese - pretty good if you get a decent mature cheddar slice. I like all three but make the first two mainly because they are simple to put together. Also the American idea of pairing them with tomato soup - bloody genius!
In this context, I'd like you to consider my absolute favorite meal: the dutch 'tosti': bread with gouda cheese and ham, in a panini press. It's the best. Serve with mayo or ketchup. I'm actually surprised it's not so well known in other countries
Mijn vriend waar is de curry
I love eating my grilled cheese just like that, always with mayo. I usually don't like mayo but it goes so well in a grilled chesse.
I learned that you can sub out mayo for the butter when toasting the bread and it IS a game-changer. Crisper, crunching bread and the egg and oil component adds to the flavor.
I usually make toasted sandwiches with cheese, ham and mayo. It's delicious.
Bro. He’s the best chef on yt hands down!
Him and nick digiovanni
Yep no doubt about it
@@tacodbell4709 Nick is more of an entertainer. He actually doesn’t teach us much and just does random crap. He’s no where near as great as Josh. Josh is like a 15/10 and Nick is like a 7/10
@@josiahboyer5923 your entitled to your opinion
English Cheese Toastie is white toastie bread, Mayo on the outside, into the toastie maker, add mature cheddar, couple spoonfuls of baked beans, black peps, add second bread slice with Mayo on the outside, close toastie maker, 2-3 minutes. Eat immediately and scald the entirety of your mouth. Done.
Had a Croque Monsieur at a french restaurant with a side of chicken liver once. It was so eye opening. Such a nostalgic dish for me. Well done, Josh.
Croque monsieur with chicken ? As a French guy not sure about the authenticity
@@ad5047 it was on the side, it wasn’t a part of the sandwich
@@AnferneeMyers still a no go for me mate but hope it was tasty
It is my most nostalgia inducing food item. From having them at a special sunday lunch as a kid, to grilling them in one of those cast iron contraptions over an open fire at the scouts.
Been trying all sorts of versions ever since; with tomato and basil inside, grilled pineapple and bbq sauce, spicy ground beef, fried mushrooms and herbs, Italian deli meats, pulled pork.
And for my guilty pleasure quick-fix; 2 layers of cheese with ham and ketchup in the middle, nuked in a microwave and served with a dollop of mayo. Disgustingly good hangover cure.
a more fair comparison would have been an equal amount of work for both sandwiches because the croque monsieur takes like 3x the work of just putting buttered bread, cheese, and ham on a pan
British Toasties use a Sandwich Toaster which seals edges, tends to have tomato puree, vintage cheddar cheese, onion and mixed herbs. Also Fresh tomato and cheese, ham and cheese, Cheese and herbs, Coronation Chicken and Cheese. Few examples..
Joshua makes everyone’s day even better. If only he can send some grilled cheese
making croque monsieur tonight
been following you since under 1m followers, learned so got dang much. you even responded to a text i sent you with a pic of my sourdough!
saw your book on the shelves at my local Target and was legit excited for all your hard earned success
thanks and congrats!
ooh if so, I wanna see you make a Mozzarella in Carrozza or a Welsh Rarebit
at least watching this video is a bit refreshing after Gordon's disaster on that one hehe
English guy here, we have a slight variation, there's the standard "cheese toastie" which is done using a specific device called a toastie maker, if you look it up you'll notice that the edges and the centre are sealed so that each half is a triangle shaped pouch, made so that the filling doesn't spill out of the edges.
Otherwise when we make a toasted cheese sandwich we don't usually cook it on a pan, we'll either use a sandwich press like a breville, or we'll put it in the oven and toast it that way, but pan cooking is not so common for our toasted cheese sandwiches over here.
That and wealsh rarebit
For the French version, you can try some sour cream inside, just a little for more sweetness ! 😁
ooo, that sounds amazing
Totally awesome & easy to watch cause your vids are somewhat shorter way to go THX
Hi Joshua. We have francesinha in Portugal .. basically we took the French level to a next level by adding sausage , steak and a spicy sauce .. the best ones are in Porto.
Greetings from Sweden. Just got your cookbook, I really like it! Keep up the great cooking!
Here in Spain we have "sandwitch mixto" Witch essentially is also a grilled cheese with jam. When some places what to get fancy they cover it with bechamel ans cheese and broil it. So, kinda a middle ground.
OK this sounds really good, I need details what bread cheese and jam should I use
I just realiced i meant ham, just like in the video.
But maybe i've invented something even better xD
A must try! Those looked so good!
Might be the best video you've ever made. I especially liked how you differentiated classic grilled cheese from a ham and cheese.
In Brazil we have Queijo Quente e Misto Quente (something like "Hot Cheese" and "Hot Mixed").
Traditionally we had the Cheese Sandwich and the Ham Sandwich (Sanduíche de Queijo e Sanduíche de Presunto)... When someone wanted a grilled one they just asked for a hot one... Someone somewhere just asked to mix both, so the Mixed one has born (Misto)... When another someone asked to grill it become the Misto Quente. The most popular one in the current days.
Where I live it's made with Queijo Prato (a Brazilian cheese that I'm sure isn't a thing outside Brazil), across the country you can found it with other cheese variations like Mozzarella, Curd Cheese or some kind of Minas' Cheese.
The only certain it's that all these variations are better than American Cheese.
Prepare yourself for all the comments about grilled cheese vs melts
For my grilled cheese my mom would always add a little pinch of dark brown sugar onto the cheese before cooking... amazing. Highly suggest it!

When I was little, I always thought that croque monsieur was a fancy and expensive french dish, but it turns out it’s completely the opposite 😂
i love that you openly accept nostalgia and simplicity in foods despite variance in quality of ingredients as a caveat to this comparison
add two over easy eggs on top of the Croque Monsieur and you got yourself the equally delicious Croque Madame.
That cheese gurye...is so expensive,,,,I love it!! thank you for introducing me to it... We use coblyjack shredded with a bit of the gurye. I put a little bit of that cheese in everything now lol
traditionnal french croque-monsieur is made with bechamel sauce, but actually any non pro cook will make them without it, i think your american grilled cheese is much closer to the basic croque monsieur than your other version despite the fact it looks really great
Josh is right, traditional croque-monsieur is made with Mornay sauce, which is basically béchamel with cheese, and I swear I don't know anyone who makes them otherwise here (France), pro cook or not. To me, three things differentiate a grilled cheese from a croque-monsieur : ham (obviously), Mornay or cheese-topped béchamel sauce if you're lazy, and being cooked in an oven. I feel like grilled cheese is a snack and croque-monsieur is a dish, if that makes sense.
Facts! The French friends I've spoken to don't chuck the sauce on as it means you need a knife and fork to each a sandwich, which is of course, silly.
@@SuperDan2105 You're supposed to eat a croque-monsieur with a knife and fork because when it's done the right way you get it right from your oven/broiler and it's literally too hot to handle ;)
C’est vrai
@@Aspett0 well, not totally cooked in an oven, because you need to toast the bread before cooking the sauce, but again this is more of a fancy sandwich than what we're used to cook here. I invite you to see Phillipe Etchebest's video about it
I'm not sure what is better, the culinary skills or the video presentation. Both impeccably well done....pun not intended.
I feel like grilled cheese is a snack and croque-monsieur is a dish. I totally get the childhood nostalgia you mention about your grilled cheese : we French kids have the same feeling about croque-monsieur ;)
I think it’s also important to keep the history of both in mind when comparing….croque monsieur was served in Parisian restaurants in the early 1900s, while the grilled cheese was in the US around then too but more heavily promoted during the Great Depression as a relatively filling, cheap food. Croque monsieur is definitely an impressive sandwich, but it’s nice to appreciate the grilled cheese for its service!
That French grilled cheese is looking real good over there but there’s nothing like the American classic 😋
Yeah, but your stomach is gonna hurt after you eat enough cheese.
If you dont like American cheese for the flavor Babish has a great grilled cheese video where he learns the process of making American style processed cheese with its nice melting points but processing and mixing in other cheeses to get different flavors. Its a really cool video.
I'll have you know that a cheese toastie is actually a Dutch thing, and it's called a ham kaas tosti (ham and cheese toastie basically) you forgot the 3rd contender Mr. Weissmann!
Tbh I think you'd have a hard time finding a country on this earth who didn't have the idea of sticking some cheese in some bread and warming it up...
Grilled Cheese is definitely one for the books.
I don't know any American's in my age group who haven't
loved the feeling of Mom's basic grilled cheese.
That said, that French Version.... OMG! The bread alone
would be a reason to switch sides :)
Happy cooking,

The "Croque Monsieur" is pretty accurate but we actually use bechamel instead of the sauce you make
Mornay sauce is literally just bechamel with cheese melted into it. It is a common addition even if "traditional" is technical only the bechamel.
"A Mornay sauce is a béchamel sauce with shredded or grated cheese added"
@@nathanielholzgrafe5274 Mornay sauce is bechamel with grated cheese AND egg yolk, what he make is just a cheesy bechamel not a proper mornay sauce.
@@Shinseiki555 I’m afraid you are incorrect. A quick Google will confirm. You can find Mornay recipes with eggs to affect texture and richness but the base recipe is just bechamel and cheese.
@@nathanielholzgrafe5274 A quick Google of French source for the mornay sauce proves me right and even the resources for people passing the chef's diploma in France tell us to add egg for the mornay sauce
A toastie is usually made with a press I have one from the 70s that puts like a seashell pattern on them and helps pack all the flavour together and the inside buttered aswell and with cheddar also cheese and tomato cheese and onion ham and cheese and sometimes even tuna and cheese are quite popular
The beauty of the American grilled cheese is in its simplicity. It's always quick and cheap to toss together, but you can also always step your game up with ingredients and prep.
Which one is better? Yes to both, please.
Josh you need to try season your bread with salt and pepper when you fry it, it's a game changer
Yes!
my mouth is watering rn
I went to a small restaurant in Florence, Italy once and was a little tired of pizza and pasta near the end of my trip, so I ordered a grilled ham and cheese. Turns out Italian grilled cheese is just a plate of cheese and ham put under the broiler with no bread. American and French Grilled Cheese>> Italian Grilled Cheese.
Order a tosti next time in italy, thats what you want probably
If you asked for grilled cheese they might just have thought thats what you wanted , so i hope it was a misunderstanding otherwise its really weird
Because we don't call it grilled cheese. A "toast", is what we would call it. But if you want the real contender (and tbf, there's no contest), you need to go for Mozzarella in carrozza.
Cheese toast in England is only one slice of bread with cheese on top. It isn’t a sandwich. Usually it’s done underneath a broiler so that the cheese bubbles up and crisps. You can also treat this base like a pizza and add toppings, but plain mature cheddar on top of thick sliced toast is perfect all on its own.
French croque-monsieur are exactly your American grilled cheese version. The other one is just a fancy version but not something you would eat on a daily basis
Can't say "exactly". No one would put cheddar in Croque Monsieur even for "daily basis" unless you're called McDonald
Aaaaah respectons-nous, personne met du fromage plastique comme ça en France.
Both are delicious. For me one of my most favorite and comforting meals is the good old fashioned grilled cheese with Kraft, and Campbell’s tomato soup. Yep, cheap, generic, etc., but that’s hands down my favorite nostalgia meal.
My hot take: A grilled cheese is bread and cheese only. The addition of any other ingredients, make it a melt.
As soon as I saw the ham, I was like this is a melt.
The whole family loved the surprise taste test Man, thanks. I learned a few simple tricks to improve other foods, like adding cheese gravy and ALWAYS toasting the buns. Thank you. We went with the class American for the win, much to my surprise.
Dropped the hardest edit of this year about some grilled cheese sandwiches and thought I wouldn’t realize
When you offer toast with melting cheese you can never go wrong! Those who don't use it are wrong, because it's super tasty, and what can I say about the porn food effect!
in australia and new zealand we been doing grilled ham and cheese for a long time. even grilled cheese and tomato with a light coat of salt and pepper on the tomato which is also nice if you add ham but still good by itself.

Try a Francesinha. Portuguese take on the grilled cheese. Honestly a top choice for me
Toasties in the UK can also have cheese on the outside. In other words, toastie doesn’t mean any one specific thing. Just bread and cheese arranged in.. some way.
I enjoy sprinkling some shredded or grated cheese on the buttered bread before putting it on the heat… it crisps up nicely adding yet another layer of flavor and texture…
Cheese toastie is either done in a toastie machine (like a press) or in the toaster. You get special little bags and you can knock one up in seconds
Looks so good😋

in britain as well as a a toastie we also have cheese on toast which is an open toasted cheese sandwich (toastie)
Fluffy cheese on toast , cheese grated with mayo under grill on bread blinking simple yummy but very rich x love it gotta love cheese!
You should try doing the northern Italian version of grilled cheese, it’s called Frico and it’s very popular in the small mountain villages
In the Netherlands we call the ham/cheese grilled sandwich a tosti. Type of cheese or ham doesnt really matter, just put 2 slices of bread around it and put it into a contact grill.
You are the best cook I’ve ever seen before and I ‘m sorry if I missed your cook book
OH! as a Canadian, we do eat croque monsieur all the time! we also have a croque madame, where you add an egg on top YUM
In Australia we have jaffles which you use a special sandwich press that seals it into a little melty bread pie. Baked beans in that bad boy is the best
In India we have paneer paratha traditionally, but these days we have the chilli cheese toast. Like a toastie, but add cilantro, chopped green chillies and chat masala on top of the cheese.
4:10 that’s called the “Like a Prayer” experience.
The editor is the real winner in every single video!
I do my grilled cheese on English muffin bread with a slice of American cheese, provolone cheese and Gouda. Use garlic butter if I'm feeling frisky, and add a fried egg if the mood strikes. Yup, going to go cook now. Great video Josh.
Now level it up, Josh... do THOSE versus a Monte Cristo. Egg-dipped bread (basically French Toast), ham and cheese, and powdered sugar.
The best one of these sandwiches I've ever had was at a now-defunct restaurant in Memphis, TN, made with gruyere and habenero pepper jack, challah bread from Ricki's Cookie Corner, and Clifty Farm ham. That and a couple mimosas and I was a very happy bruncher.
As Randy Santel says... 3, 2, 1.... BOOM.
As a swiss i‘d recommend you to look up Käseschnitte or Chässchnitte. It‘s something similar out of the Wallis in Switzerland:)
I was probably belligerent in many conversations like this.
Yes Josh, it matters to some.
I don't know why but in Ireland it seems like 2 out of 3 households own a George Foreman grill and we make Toasties in that. White Sliced Pan (like Wonderbread but not sweet) but no butter.
I just saw someone talked about it. And bifana too!! Amazing! 😀
The end is always so much fun lol
so basically, a cheese toastie in the UK is essentially a grilled cheese, but super pressed and sealed on all sides since u basically do the same thing as a grilled cheese, but it goes into a (generally cheap) toastie maker that pinches the sides shut and basically auto-makes two halves like containers of melted cheese
I wish i could make all your food. They always look so good no matter what
Edit: I also just recently found your channel and I wish I have found it earlier because all your videos are so satisfying to watch
