5: BelGioioso® Croque Madame

Presented with cheeses from BelGioioso, Tiffany L. Sawyer, Corporate Director of Culinary and Beverage, First Hospitality, set her sights on the Croque Madame. “I don’t see this classic much on menus today. So, I wanted to bring it back to the forefront of chefs’ minds.” Sawyer’s dish puts BelGioioso® Italico™ cheese in the spotlight as the hero ingredient of the mornay sauce. “It’s a soft cheese with a flavor that’s both a little fruity and earthy—and quite aromatic,” she says. “Its meltability is fabulous.” Sawyer builds in more flavor with chopped Spanish onion, roasted garlic and some lemon zest, as well as the traditional nutmeg and cloves.
