Instructions

Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Toast the sourdough slices until lightly golden on both sides. Spread a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard on the inner sides of both bread slices. Layer the Jambon de Paris onto one slice, followed by half of the grated Gruyère. Close the sandwich.

Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and top with the remaining Gruyère. Broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is bubbling, molten, and deeply golden brown with charred edges.

While the sandwich broils, quickly sauté the fresh spinach in a hot pan until just wilted, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Serve the hot Croque Monsieur immediately alongside the sautéed spinach and the fresh apple slices, which provide a crisp, sweet contrast to the rich, savory sandwich.
