Oui, Monsieur, a Croque Tartlette

This petit quelque-chose takes its cues from the classic Croque Monsieur, with layered slices of jambon (French ham) and Gruyere cheese tucked into buttery puff pastry. Once it's baked and golden, it's cut in squares, served with French rough mustard and Chablis or a nice Alsatian beer. Perfect for munching on while you watch the Sunday afternoon game, or do the crossword. It works beautifully as breakfast when you have a houseful of out-of-town guests. For breakfast, serve with freshly cut mango/orange fruit salad and steaming hot French press coffee.
