Is Hediard's Croque-Ferdiannd just another "Croque-monsieur"? Certainly not...
If the classic, typically Parisian toasted sandwich appeared in the early 1900's in the French capital city, Hediard's own version of the Croque-Monsieur, the "Croque-Ferdinand" was created more recently to bring a new casual though gourmet experience to all those in quest for an ideal lunch in a Parisian bistro-type of cafe.
Its golden crust from Swiss cheese protects a deliciously melting heart of mornay sauce underlying slices of Parma ham, prisoners of Hediard's unique country-style bread own recipe. More than a Croque-monsieur, Hediard's Croque-Ferdinand marries perfectly with all kind of dishes and wines as presented here in the "Special Hediard" gourmet platter with torchon-cooked foie-gras and its fig comfit, smoked salmon and salad.
