This adaptation turned heads at the supper table. The inspiration...a great big thank you to Fine Cooking!
I was not familiar with the Croque Madame. After checking with various sources, including Wiki, I found easiest English definition would be a grilled cheese sandwich. This opened a door and the wheels began to turn.
My taste buds were ready for a bacon cheeseburger and the inspiration began.
The base of my creation was a toasted rye slice,
topped with fresh mesculin and ranch dressing.
I find the best method for bacon is using the oven
on a rack at 375F for 12-15 minutes.
No mess and perfectly flat bacon!
I grilled a sirloin patty until medium well, topped with the fried egg with cheddar cheese under the egg. Topped with fresh parsley to finish.
What a great combination of flavors...and the bacon cheeseburger urge was satisfied! Yum...and this will be a keeper.
The soft cooked egg provides a wonderful "sauce" for the entree!

Mr. Bill,
What a fantastic idea, and especially for those times when you want a delightful dinner without all the involvement of some meal preparations. Will be having this tonight. Thanks for the inspiration! - G
I love a "runny" egg over many things...this looks wonderful!
I wouldn't call this a croque madame, but it does look delicious!
Serene...that WAS the variation part!
