Croque Monsieur with Bistro Style Berkshire Pork Loin

If you're looking to elevate your sandwich game, this Croque Monsieur recipe featuring Angel's Salumi and Truffles Bistro Style Berkshire Pork Loin is a must-try. This classic French sandwich combines the rich flavors of Gruyère or Brie cheese and our succulent, slow-cooked pork loin, resulting in a deliciously satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• Slices of your favorite bread
• Crème fraîche
• Fresh cracked black pepper
• Angel's Salumi and Truffles Bistro Style Berkshire Pork Loin
• Gruyère or Brie cheese
• Optional: Slices of fresh tomato
• Cornichons (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Spread Crème Fraîche: Begin by spreading a generous layer of crème fraîche on each slice of bread. This adds a creamy richness that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

2. Add Black Pepper: Sprinkle fresh cracked black pepper over the crème fraîche for a bit of spice and flavor depth.

3. Layer the Pork Loin: Place slices of Angel's Salumi and Truffles Bistro Style Berkshire Pork Loin on one slice of bread. Our pork loin, inspired by French cuisine and slow-cooked sous-vide for 12 hours, adds a savory, tender element to the sandwich. It is prepared with natural seasonings like salt, garlic, black peppercorns, nutmeg, bay leaf, and a hint of brown sugar, ensuring every bite is a burst of flavor.

4. Add Cheese: Top the pork loin with slices of Gruyère or Brie cheese. These cheeses melt beautifully and add a creamy, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the pork.

5. Optional: Add Tomato: For a fresh twist, add a slice of tomato on top of the cheese. The tomato adds a juicy, tangy element that enhances the overall flavor.

6. Close the Sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.

7. Press and Cook: Place the sandwich on a sandwich/panini press. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread has nice char marks. The press helps to meld the flavors together and achieve the perfect texture.

8. Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. For an authentic touch, serve with a side of cornichons. The tartness of the cornichons complements the richness of the sandwich wonderfully.
