Diabetes: Croque Monsieur ou Croque Madame?

A Croque Monsieur is a hot sandwich made with ham and cheese. It originates from French cafés and bars as a quick snack. My diabetes version is better since you don't have any béchamel sauce, only the healthy stuff!

Diabetes & yummy recipe: This is a typical French dish that is normally served with a big salad on the side. It normally has béchamel sauce on it. In my opinion, it has too many carbs and would be difficult to calculate so I make it like this for my boys.

Ingredients

  • A slice of bread, preferably not white bread
  • Ham or turkey
  • Slices of Comté cheese or grated cheese
  • Half a small avocado
  • As a topping, I have put the spice sumac but you can add:
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika

Directions

  • Put the oven grill on.
  • Croque Monsieur:
  • Add some pastrami, ham or turkey on the slice of bread
  • You can either put the grated cheese first and then put it under the grill, then add the avocado once it is done
  • Or, if you like hot avocado, put a layer of avocado and then some grated cheese and put under the grill
  • When grilled, add some paprika or olive oil or salt and pepper
  • Croque Madame:
  • Add a fried egg on top of  everything
  • Enjoy!

Diabetes & Carb content:

When you freeze the bread, it helps lower the glycemic index of the food. The same applies if you toast it.

👉 Remember that as a general rule, 20g of bread equals to 1R or 10g carbs
