Tomato sauce, also known as sauce tomate, is a beloved staple in the world of culinary arts. This versatile sauce was created by the renowned chef Auguste Escoffier, who played a significant role in revolutionizing French cuisine in the early 1900s. Escoffier’s tomato sauce recipe has stood the test of time and continues to be a fundamental component in countless dishes. The beauty of tomato sauce lies in its ability to enhance the flavors of a wide variety of foods. Whether it’s paired with tender meat, fish, vegetables, crusty bread, lasagna, or al dente pasta, there are few dishes that cannot be improved by the addition of this vibrant and flavorful sauce. One of the reasons tomato sauce is so popular is its simplicity.

The basic composition of French Sauce Tomate is tomato, fresh herbs, stock, and pork fat. However, and by omitting stock and pork fat, you allow the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomato to shine through, resulting in a vibrant and fresh base that can be used in a variety of recipes.
Indeed, as a mother sauce, Sauce Tomate has many daughter sauces or derivatives. These small sauces include: Marinara sauce, Creole sauce, Spanish sauce, Provençale sauce, Vodka sauce, ketchup and Hot sauce.

And today, I’m thrilled to share with you the secrets behind creating the perfect croque monsieur at home. To get started, you’ll need a few key ingredients that define the essence of this classic sandwich. First and foremost, we have the jambon, also known as French ham, which adds a savory and flavorful element to each bite. Next, we have the Gruyere cheese, with its rich and nutty taste, creating a perfect pairing with the ham. And finally, we have the pain de mie, a soft and fluffy bread that provides the ideal texture for this mouthwatering creation. Traditionally, a croque monsieur consists of jambon and Gruyere cheese pressed between two slices of pain de mie. However, to take it up a notch, you can also fill and top the sandwich with a luscious béchamel or mornay sauce. This creamy addition elevates the flavors and takes the crunch sir to a whole new level of deliciousness. And for those who are looking to go the extra mile, I’ll also be showcasing a special variation called the Croque Madame, where a sunny-side-up egg is delicately placed on top of the croque monsieur. The combination of gooey cheese, savory ham, and a perfectly cooked egg is simply divine. The bonus? a delectable panini made with focaccia and brie cheese.
