My absolute favorite sandwich is a croque monsieur. I mean how can you top a gooey and cheesy ham sandwich? If it is on a menu, I order it every single time. Recently, to go along with a bowl of my roasted red pepper soup, I made croque monsieur roll-ups.

These Croque Monsieur Roll-Ups are perfect for serving a crowd and are so easy to make! I start with a premade pizza crust to make super simple. You could also use crescent dough rolled into a sheet. 

Ingredients for Croque Monsieur Roll-Ups:

1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
8 slices deli ham
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
Sauce:
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Let’s Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking dish. Set aside.

2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for one minute. Slowly add in milk, stirring constantly, to flour mixture. Stir in salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

3. Roll out pizza crust. Spread with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Top with ham slices. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese. Roll up to create a log. Slice into 2 inch slices and place in prepared baking sheet. Pour cheese sauce over top. Top with remaining shredded Gruyere cheese. 

4. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.

These are perfect for a Super Bowl party or as a great lunch with a bowl of soup. My family asks them to make these Croque Monsieur Roll-Ups all the time now and I always agree because I love them too.
