Monsieur

Monsieur is a classic French dish that dates back to the 18th century. It is a simple dish of cooked eggs and ham, but there are many different ways to make it. The dish is named after the French word for "sir", which is how it was originally served to gentlemen at court.

Monsieur recipes vary depending on the region of France. In the north, the dish is often made with cream and cheese, while in the south it is more likely to be made with tomatoes. There are also many different ways to cook the eggs, from sunny-side up to scrambled.

No matter how it is made, monsieur is a delicious and easy dish to make at home. It is a perfect way to use up leftover ham, and the eggs can be cooked to your liking. Whether you like your monsieur with cheese or tomatoes, it is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.
