Croque Monsieur - You Suck at Cooking (episode 131)

The Croque Monsieur (not to be confused with the Croak Monsieur, the Croquet Monsieur, the Crockpot Monsieur, or the Crackpot Monsieur) is a sandwich that tastes good.

RECIPE

It's in the video. But if you really think I should write it out, give me three reasons why in the comments and I will probably write it out even if you don't.

RECIPE UPDATE

Okay here we go. Get some bread. White bread, green brad, artisan bread, crackers, I don't care.

Now make some béchamel sauce.
1.5 tablespoons of butter on low heat in a sauce pan
1.5 tablespoons of flour whiskjangled slowly into the same pan until it's smooth and bubbly for a couple minutes
Slowly add a cup of milk and go through the 5 Stages of Béchamel Hell.
I hear if you warm the milk up it works better but who has time for that? Not you. You're already warming the milk up anyway
Add some salt, pepper, and nutmeg...don't go buck wild with the nutmeg or you'll get all nutted out
Cook it until it's a bit thick then take it off the heat
SURPRISE you made way too much béchamel for one sandwich
Bread

Grated gruyere
ham

béchamel on the bread ceiling

béchamel on the bread roof
Grated gruyere

But like flip that list upside down if you want it to correspond to gravity.
Also many recipes have one less layer of béchamel but we didn't come here to fuck around
Put in in the undoh for a few minutes or just put it straight on broil for a couple minutes.
Don't take your eye off it when it's on broil! If you go on your phone for even one second the sandwich will be burnt to a crisp

“your family and also the people that you love” slipped in a bit of truth there, huh lol

[zhuofanzhang]

I admire any sponsor that allows "YOU SUCK" to be part of the promo code

[minimal]

Can we just appreciate the fact that this mad lad put the actual sauce inside the "B´e Chanel" bottle? Fucking genius.

I've watched 131 episodes of this show and I just now noticed that when he does the door-opening-to-location bit it's keyed out to superimpose a different location. And not that he simply has 23 doors on his house each leading to a different outdoor garden.

This man is the smoothest editor I swear.

[flamingwa]

This man can narrate on anything and it will still be amazing

[rebeccarizoreimer]

“Boiling hot sunscreen” was not something I thought I’d hear today

[mollyscozykitchen]

I love that YSAC is able to combine delicious recipes with his deadpan humor to create this amazing show. That was a great sponsorship, too, it wasn’t weird or out-of-place at all.

[markchapman]

I don't know which was funnier, the sandwiches "getting to know each other", or the whistling PB&J, but in either case, this was another classic episode.

[TLhikan]

"Bechamel, also known as white gravy"

YSAC just destroyed the entire French culinary tradition with one sentence.

[VikingFyre]

Therapist: "Its okay, Whistling PB&J isn't real, it can't hurt you."
Whistling PB&J: *whistles*

[Arnav_Jain]

When you really suck at cooking and don't understand when he is being serious and when he is joking 😭

[skylermiller]

Well, the whistling PB&J will definitely be haunting my nightmares for the foreseeable future.

[ShreddinSleds]

That water aging scene had me completely hypnotized and I didn’t want it to end.

[BrianJacobe]

"Do not eat ingredients raw"

Me: *_Deepfries a head of crispy water_*

[Joe-nbfs]

3:02 I am gobsmacked by the animated PB&J. Just...how? I see no strings or other dead giveaways. If it's stop motion, it's insanely smooth.

[giggityguy]

I can't believe he missed out on riffing on the factual but hilarious information that "Croque Monsieur" literally translates to "Mister Crunch."

[cedrick]

I never thought in my life I’d see two sandwiches go at it, I seriously need therapy now.

[TheSlavChef]

A Croque Monsieur goes into a bar
and the bartender says, "hey, get out of here! We don't serve food here!"

[r.b.ratieta]

"...With your family, and also the people you love."

As a pariah with 80% of my family, that gave me a decent laugh. *Slow clap.*

need an entire song of a PB And J Whistling
