Croque Madame with Almond Béchamel

Preparation

In a small saucepan add the butter the flour and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes over medium-to-high heat.

Add half the Almond Drink and stir continuously. Once the mixture thickens, add the rest of the Almond Drink and keep stirring vigorously.

Remove the saucepan from the burner, add half the gruyere and stir.

Place a slice of bread on a flat surface and fold a slice Emmental cheese on top, so there’re actually two slices of cheese on the slice of bread.

Add a slice of ham, a generous dollop of the béchamel and some grated gruyere. Place another slice of bread on top.

Spread a little butter on both sides and cook on a nonstick skillet in medium heat for a few minutes until golden. Remove the croque madame from the skillet and place in a baking tray.

Add a generous dollop of bechamel on top and sprinkle some grated gruyere.

Repeat the process for the second croque madame.

Heat the oven, place the croque madame in the middle and grill for a few minutes, until the cheese melts.

In the meantime, prepare two eggs, either over-easy or sunny-side-up, and place them on top of the croque madame once you remove them from the grill.

Add some finely chopped chives and serve immediately.

Vegan Soup with Asparagus and Almond Drink

Preparation

Cut the bottom part of the asparagus and use a peeler to clean the stalks.

(Tip: Hold a stalk of asparagus from its two ends and bend until it breaks.

Keep the upper part and cut the rest of the stalks at the same point.)

Cut the asparagus, leek and onions in small pieces, of approximately 1cm.

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté all the vegetables, stirring for 5 minutes.

Add a pinch of salt, some freshly-ground pepper and the vegetable broth.

Cover the saucepan and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the asparagus has softened.

Add the almond drink and use a hand blender to create a smooth soup mixture.

Once the soup has been brought to a boil, remove from heat, add the juice from a half lime and a pinch of Cayenne pepper.

Serve with some toasted almond flakes and finely chopped chives.
