Croque Monsieur is France's super-luxurious answer to America's much beloved grilled cheese sandwich. And, like its American counterpart, the variations are endless. In addition to, or in place of, the ham, add sautéed mushrooms, wilted greens, crumbled chorizo or even kimchee. For cheese, try imported Fontina, Manchego, Comté or Emmental Swiss.

The perfect grilled cheese sandwich starts with, of course, the cheese. Instead of going just for American, use a "trinity of cheeses": provolone, American and sharp cheddar. Start with mustard, spreading it crust-to-crust, layer the cheese (American in the middle!), ribbon the ham to create height and spread the outside of the bread with mayo to create that perfectly golden crust.

Carson Daly created this sandwich as a nod to his favorite cheese shop in Santa Monica, California (where he was born and raised) that hosted beer pairings with different grilled cheeses. Carson says, "I always found the idea simple and delicious, because beer and cheese is such a classic combo. This is one of my favorite pairings, perfect for game days. I like to serve these with a Belgium-style Tripel beer."
