Cranberry Croque Monsieur
Look at this for a beautiful image, I can’t believe that it was photographed in my home. It really shows how something very simple can be spectacular. There is a misconception that because I am a food blogger with 2 published recipe books that the food in my house is always amazing. It’s not! There are days when I am so busy with work that I don’t have time to shop or cook and there is always a frozen pizza or two in my freezer. I am not a purist food saint. Food made from fresh ingredients will always taste better than frozen food though and on one of the busy days I would definitely opt for this glorious croque monsieur over a pizza. This will be an excellent use of any left-over baked ham and cranberry sauce after Christmas and that cheese, there will definitely be left-over cheese.
