Turkey & Croissant Croque Madame

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 c leftover gravy
  • 1/2 c whole milk
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 oz grated Parmesan
  • 8 oz shredded Gruyere
  • 4 croissants, split
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 c leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 c leftover turkey
  • 1/2 c leftover cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 c leftover vegetables, cut into 1 in pieces
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 sage leaves
  • 4 large eggs
  • pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Place prosciutto slices on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in over until dark in color and crispy about 10 min. Set aside.
  2. Stir together gravy and milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until just coming to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in nutmeg. Add parmesan and 1 c gruyere; cook, stirring until melted, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Increase oven temperature to 425. Place the 4 bottom halves of croissants on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; spread mustard evenly over each. Spoon a layer of mashed potatoes. Drizzle gravy-cheese sauce over potatoes. Top each with turkey, cranberry, vegetables, and a slice of crispy prosciutto.
  4. Add the top croissant. Spoon remaining sauce over sandwiches; top each with remaining gruyere. Bake until cheese sauce is bubbling, 3-4 minutes
  5. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high until glistening. Fry sage leaves 8-10 seconds, or until changed in color but not yet brown. Remove sage with a spatula; place on a paper-tole-lined plate.
  6. While oil is hot, gently crack four eggs into skillet in opposite corners; cook undisturbed, until edges are crisp and golden brown, whites are puffed and set, and yolks are still wet, 2-3 minutes. Place an egg on top of each sandwich, and serve hot with a few fried sage leaves. Top each with a few grinds of pepper.
