An easy recipe for Choque Madame Sandwich with Béchamel Sauce. They are great for a weekend brunch, because they are breakfast and lunch all in one! I like serving it with a little mixed green salad like they did at our favorite little French restaurant. It recently closed so I started making these scrumptious French sandwiches at home.

The key to this recipe is the béchamel sauce. The sauce is rich and delicious. Instead for the standard recipe for béchamel sauce which includes just Parmesan cheese I add a little Gruyere cheese. It gives the sauce an extra level of flavor. I hope you will make this yummy recipe for Choque Madame Sandwich with béchamel sauce.
