Classic Croque Monsieur

French bistro-style Croque Monsieur sandwiches are Chef Cedric's ideal comfort food. This classic French staple features layers of cured, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, and creamy béchamel, all piled between two slices of buttery toasted brioche bread. To keep it balanced, Chef serves up the rich sandwich alongside a bright, crunchy frisée salad with cherry tomatoes and a simple vinaigrette. Bon appétit!

It was yummy but there could be more salad. Lots of tomato’s was nice. The flavor of the dressing could be more enticing. The cheese on top was a bit hard to melt following the instructions.

About Cedric Nicolas

chef image

Born and raised in Versailles, France Chef Cedric got his first introduction to cooking from his mom, who insisted on using the freshest ingredients from local markets for their family's meals. After trying his hand in the home kitchen, he formalized his interest in cooking when it came time to decide on professional school and enrolled in a culinary training program at the age of 15. It only took several months, and a couple missed soccer games, for Chef Cedric to decide he wanted to get into restaurants.

He moved to London to stage at The Lanesborough, and by the age of 19 he was working in Michelin-starred Le Club Gascon. Chef Cedric eventually came back home to France to work under Gordon Ramsey.He went on to Chef for a restaurant with a daily tasting menu that featured the best local ingredients he could source - this eventually earned the restaurant a Michelin Plate award.

Chef Cedric moved to Los Angeles in 2017 to open La Belle Vie and has been cooking in the city ever since.
