Croque-madame is a classic French hot sandwich made with ham and melted cheese on toasted bread, topped with a fried or poached egg — the egg being what distinguishes it from its close relative, the croque-monsieur. It is a staple of French café menus and bistro lunches, typically served as a single open-faced or closed sandwich. Per 100 g, it provides 320 kcal, 15 g of protein, 20 g of fat and 20 g of carbohydrates, with just 1 g of dietary fibre. Notable micronutrients include 270 mg of calcium, 700 mg of sodium and 185 mcg of vitamin A per 100 g, along with 0.8 mcg of vitamin B12. No glycemic index value is available for this dish. The ingredient list includes gluten, dairy and egg, so it does not fit common restrictive dietary patterns.
How many calories in a croque-madame?
A croque-madame contains around 320 kcal per 100 g. A typical café serving weighs roughly 200–250 g, putting the total at approximately 640–800 kcal per sandwich.
How much sodium is in a croque-madame?
A croque-madame contains about 700 mg of sodium per 100 g, largely from the ham, cheese and any added béchamel. A full serving of 200 g would contribute around 1,400 mg of sodium.
What's the difference between a croque-madame and a croque-monsieur?
The two sandwiches share the same base of ham, cheese and toasted bread, often with béchamel sauce. The croque-madame is distinguished solely by the addition of a fried or poached egg on top, which also raises the protein and fat content slightly.
