I apologise to any French people, but this cheats Croque Monsieur is a quick and easy lunch or quick tea and my boys enjoy it as do I. It is perfect for when their is little time and they need to get to their karate lesson.

My boys often have school dinners, so aren't always in need of a large meal for dinner. On nights when they have their karate class, quick and easy dinners are in order. Current favourites include scrambled egg and chorizo

and smoked salmon and poached eggs.

My cheats croque Monsieur can be made in minutes and scoffed in just about the same time.

Cheats Croque Monsieur

Spread soft cheese on the uncooked side of toast, and sandwich a piece of ham in it.
Spread a small amount of soft cheese on the top toasted park and add a slice of cheese on top. Emmental is best but edam works well too.
