History has it a version of Pan Bagnat was made in as early as the sixteenth century for hungry fishermen by their wives. They scooped out the centre of day-old bread packed it full of whatever was at hand and wrapped them in cloth. As a peasant dish the recipe was not likely to have contained tuna which would have been a much later addition. The whole thing is made in advance to allow all the flavours to soak into the bread.

National Sandwich Week – Croque Monsieur Monte Cristo
Now I like a bacon sandwich as much as any person, it is almost the chef’s staple diet but my favourite is a little different. At the simplest level, the Croque Monsieur is a French grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
