Next time you've got a need for cheese, try Jacques Pépin's recipe for croque monsieur. This French bistro version of a sandwich classic is even simpler than an American grilled cheese. Instead of standing at the stove and flipping, this sandwich slides into the oven after assembly, baking at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. A homey lunchtime favorite.

What you'll need:
4 slices of bread, 4 slices of Swiss cheese, 4 slices of ham, 4 tsp butter
