I accidentally found her too... and I'm hooked!!! Love her!

@sujonso 7 лет назад

I've been using your vinaigrette recipe for a couple of years now, and always receive compliment on it. Thanks for sharing so many amazing recipes with us.

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Awe so glad to hear that! It's a great one that must be credited back to my Mother-in-law Mauricette. Se takes her vinaigrette very seriously! And she was the one who taught me how to make it years ago! Ha!

@MsScorpyscorp 7 лет назад

What a good looking episode this was. Treat for the eyes, literally. You know what, Beth, I follow a host of cooking channels here on YT, but for some reason, I keep coming back here and at the kin community playlists, for seconds and thirds and.... actually I have lost count, frankly speaking. 😀 Today, you just turned a simple Brekkie/brunch item on its head, into a stunning gourmet spread with the side salad and the cute cornichons. As always, an excellent presentation. 👍

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Awe thank you for your sweet note. You're too kind :). I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Each one is a little labor of love (ha!) so it's always so nice to hear when people enjoy them :) xx

@275carreira 5 лет назад

I live in France and see the Croques everywhere, but your are by far the best looking I've ever seen! BRAVO!

@EntertainingWithBeth 5 лет назад

Ha! Awe merci :) So glad you enjoyed it!

@khaleesi-3946 7 лет назад

I'm not much of a new subscriber because I discovered this channel (actually kin community and this channel through that) last December while looking for holiday recipes. Since then I've tried a few more recipes and it's now come to the point where I have to cook every time we eat spaghetti, because "I know the best meatball recipe." Thank you so much Beth! For that and every other recipe :).

@anythinggoeskitchen2138 7 лет назад

Hi Beth! Another great recipe. I just subscribed to your channel though I've been with you for a year. Yesterday was my birthday. I really love your videos, they really a have a special touch and your latest upload always completes my Saturday nights. At one point, I haven't reviewed for an exam because I couldn't stop watching them. Love you Beth!

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha! Oh no you must study for your exams ha! Now I feel guilty! Ha! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! xx

@bethzaidavasquez6794 6 лет назад

Hello Beth, I made croque monsieur tonight and it turned out delicious. Thank you for sharing great recioes.

@yakishamerritt3034 5 лет назад

Omg!!! What a great tip in sect.3:29. I get a little impatient waiting for the edges to catch up with the rest of the egg. I am going to use this tip forever! Thank you Beth and family. Oui oui🌠😄🌷

@bethzaidavasquez6794 7 лет назад

I just love these french recipes. keep them coming

@Hunnie_B 7 лет назад

Love this Mr. & Mrs recipe.......and I like the egg on top as well........thanks so much for sharing Beth, love the photo of you and hubby :)

@lznskelly 7 лет назад

oh ya beth my granny taught me that trick with the egg :-) Im gonna make this for my husband for lunch today ! yum! thanks beth!

@dann652 7 лет назад

I'm French and I've never seen a croque monsieur as beautiful as yours! It looks so yummy! Great recipe Beth 😀

@MsScorpyscorp 7 лет назад

Dany Sevestre You are right. This is very to the point and simplistic in nature. The other versions on YT are so heavily ladled with the "Bech" and cheese, that it can make you cringe. Beth on the other hand, keeps it clean.

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha! Awe, well we eat first with our eyes :) so I do love things to be pretty ha! So glad you enjoyed it!

@gilthomas834 5 лет назад

You’re the best kiddo looking for a good biscotti recipe

@stacylamb980 7 лет назад

This is wonderful. going out to eat is not in our budget right now but I can bring in a French Brasserie into my kitchen. Thank you so much. xx

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Yes you certainly can! In fact I find it's easier to create even better meals at home than in restaurants! :) Hope you enjoy!

@privatenineNaturalWoman 5 лет назад

Yes. I cook my eggs the same. My Grandma was Creole and owned a restaurant in the 30's and could have been a World Class Chef. She could put love in ANY dish. I love your channel and I am glad to subscribe! 💖💯

@judiegarnett2644 7 лет назад

LOVE the egg tip!!! Can't wait to make them this weekend that way!

@danaarn1491 7 лет назад

I'm so happy I found your channel! I am a quarter French and LOOOOVE your French recipes :D

@remyandersen2001 7 лет назад

I love Croque-Monsieurs! Funny, when we were learning all our food vocabulary in French class, Croque-Monsieur was one of the vocab words we had to learn! So that's how I know about the Croque-Monsieur! I wouldn't be a big fan of the Croque-Madame, since I'm "egg-intolerant" lol! Hope you're having a good week Beth! ❤️

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha! That's so funny! Now you must make it for the full understanding of the word ha! Enjoy!

@Carina-2906 7 лет назад

Oh Beth thank you very much!! my husband is dutch but he is going to enjoy this recipe!! I love your channel!! Thank you for all this videos!!

@marshallcan7763 7 лет назад

sensational sandwich demo Beth! The Croque Madame is my favorite of the two.never tried it with cornichons. That's a great idea!

@missmaam792 7 лет назад

Absolutely lovely!

@tucker196 7 лет назад

My soon to be favourite weekend indulgence I think! Looks amazing Beth, thanks for sharing your recipe

@thesurfacepallete 7 лет назад

thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! been a subscriber when i was 14. i'm 17 now! sending love from the philippines!

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Awe I love hearing that :) So happy to have your support all these years! :)

@longhairbear 7 лет назад

I love that you suggested ground white pepper. I've recently been using it in place of fresh ground black pepper in all of my cooking to see how it goes. I'm leaning towards using it more and more.

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

I know right? It's the unsung hero in the kitchen! Ha! So yummy :) Ha!

@reemmir9359 7 лет назад

love your videos I stumbled upon this channel and now I love it

@markpeterson9826 5 лет назад

I add 1 extra tbsp of butter after the bechamel has thickened just to give it a bit extra creaminess. On holidays even use 1/4 cup heavy cream & 1/2 cup whole milk. Love your channel.

@EntertainingWithBeth 5 лет назад

Oh I love that idea! Great one with the butter at the end :) . I'm going to try that! So glad you enjoy the channel Mark! Thanks for the support! :)

@deborahwilliams-rowley4281 5 лет назад

Good morning Beth and yes when I try my eggs I move the whites around

@miriamferreira2927 4 года назад

loving your channel .... you're content is amazing and stunningly presented. Thank you for sharing x

@EntertainingWithBeth 4 года назад

Aww thanks Miriam! I'm so glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Truly appreciate the support! :)

@katrinabanardi5348 7 лет назад

Yayyy!!! Finally!! I love this!!

@llamalover02 7 лет назад

Hey there, Beth! My husband does that with his eggs! I have adopted the method too and it really is amazing. I love your channel by the way, I always look forward to your videos. :)

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Awe thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! It's funny so many people say their husbands know this trick too ha! Where did they learn this ha!

@llamalover02 7 лет назад

Entertaining With Beth Maybe all husbands are taught this without our knowledge o.o *GASP!!* there must be a secret "husband school" that they attend after the wedding!

@llamalover02 7 лет назад

Entertaining With Beth Oh my goodness, Beth, I asked my husband about the husband school thing and he acted evasive and said there was no much thing. I wonder if our husbands were in the same class.

@RDK-2292 7 лет назад

Wow this is fancy and loving looking. Thanks for the recipe Beth =]

@lindsaymayfield4773 7 лет назад

I can't wait to try this! My cousin made it a long time ago and recommended it to me but it sounded complicated! Beth, you always make such awesome recipes seem so simple, love your stuff 💜

@coolabah-blue 6 лет назад

I’m drooling 🤤 I know what we are having for lunch today 😊

@arfafatima4254 7 лет назад

beth this recipe looks as amazing as all the others. Yesterday I tried your fudgy brownies and brought it to a party today. They were a huge hit and everybody absolutely loved it. Please continue arming is with delicious recipes. Good luck.

@ellenkey09 7 лет назад

Classic bistro recipe really fantastic!

@foodjazz 7 лет назад

Great sandwiches, Beth!

@catylynch7909 7 лет назад

I'm so happy to have discovered your channel! Right now, I'm looking for traditional French dishes, as I'm going to spend time in Paris and Toulouse, in September. (Your husband's "egg trick" is great ... I'll start using it.)

@tamylaabraham5868 6 лет назад

Made the Monsieur Croque version using leftover turkey salad and the family loved it. Nobody complained about eating left over turkey again.... actually it was using already turkey left overs.

@EntertainingWithBeth 6 лет назад

Awe that's a great idea! So glad to hear it was a hit! :)

@katieclarke5259 7 лет назад

Thanks for showing us how to eat it! I was thinking of it the whole time!

@sweensangha5986 5 лет назад

love your recipes

@Mrsgates2010 7 лет назад

Stunning!!!

@gretchg9415 7 лет назад

Hi Beth! :) I so do this with my egg I've never seen anyone do it. Ha! Nice 👍🏼 it really helps the egg white cook ☺️

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha! I know I never knew?! Such a great trick! Ha! xx

@evang.6771 7 лет назад

Croque Madame is so good! I've always wondered how to make it!

@joanl5600 3 года назад

I always cut into the white of the egg to cook it . Yum yum. I have wanted to try the croquet monsieur! Looks great, Beth, as all your recipes?

@DansonforJoy 7 лет назад

Yum! This recipe is completely new to me - looks delicious! Thank you for the tip on frying eggs, too! :)

@anastasiakroft 7 лет назад

Hi Beth! 😊 I love your channel! You basically taught me how to cook 😄 I thought it would be funny to see a separate video with bloopers!

@machunec 2 года назад

Looks amazing!

@kathybirkland1212 11 месяцев назад

I haven’t seen this but it seems to work well. I will try it.

@elsalisa146 6 лет назад

Your recipe is perfect!

@Asummersdaydreamer14 7 лет назад

I have never heard that egg tip before, but I cannot wait to use it the next time an egg catches my attention. Also, thank you once again for sharing your recipe; it oddly reminds me of a more sophisticated and sandwich-like version of the S.O.S. dish I use to make with my mom when I was younger.

@AussieAngeS 7 лет назад

Oh my goodness, those are beautiful lol. My husband said he would tear into those in minutes Beth. Wow they look insane, I'll have to make these for sure.

@375f6 7 лет назад

My mouth is watering, yum!

@mikesgracie5068 7 лет назад

Mr and Mrs Croque hahah! Love it!! Looks so delicious!

@michelebezue8366 5 лет назад

I love your channel! And I do that with the egg, too.

@EntertainingWithBeth 5 лет назад

Ha! It's good that way isn't it! :) So glad you enjoy the videos! :)

@bluesb1158 7 лет назад

Beth this is a very pretty dish❤️ thank you great video, hello from Los Angles

@vadimartur 7 лет назад

I live in London and had a French assessment a few weeks ago. It was about ordering food from a French restaurant and I had to order a croque madame😂 finally know how to make it♥️

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha! Perfect timing! :)

@Stephanie-id7ut 7 лет назад

Lovely!

@aisponge 7 лет назад

drooolingg.....so yummy!!ahaha! epic wedding photo! thanks for the recipe Beth!!♡♡♡

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

ha! It's hard to believe that picture was taken 17 years ago! Seriously feels like last year?! Yikes!

@laurenmichelle1467 7 лет назад

Love it, Beth! Thanks for sharing!! I always wondered what the sauce was inside. :)

@michellevaldezberthet8816 7 лет назад

love this channel 😍

@haveaniceday8834 4 года назад

Who Is just trying learn something during quarantine ?

@debbiefromillinois532 7 лет назад

Yum! Thanks Beth.

@mcomeslast 5 лет назад

Yum! I’ll sub carmelized onions and mushrooms for the ham. This looks awesome for a girlfriends brunch.

@flcga123 7 лет назад

Thanks Beth. I've always wanted to learn how to make these. A lot easier than I thought and they both look so good! Seeing the amount of béchamel sauce in the pan and the quantity used, there must be quite a bit left. I can use mayonnaise instead? (PS. Thanks for still having your recipe in your description area)

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

oh sure you could use mayo too, or reserve the leftover sauce for the freezer, re-heat and then add a glove of garlic and some frozen peas, toss with pasta and you'll have another meal out of it :)

@PatriciaGG 7 лет назад

What a delicious sandwiches Beth!!!! I have to try your husband´s tip for fried eggs. It´s great!!!! Have a beautiful sunday my dear friend!!!! Will you go to France this summer???? Love, Patricia.

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Yes it works so well! A must try for sure! Happy weekending to you too Patricia :) xx

@OdileFeria 6 лет назад

I always made the eggs exactly like your husband. I,ve never let anyone made mine.just me- very cook on the outside, and almost raw the yellow.

@EntertainingWithBeth 6 лет назад

Yep that's the technique! Ha! :)

@kathybirkland1212 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the egg tip

@OdileFeria 7 лет назад

I always do what you just did with the eggs. I pinch the whites so it can cook fast, and crispy and the yellow stays liquid

@marie42ify 7 лет назад

Beth, I really don't know how you keep your slim figure with all of this magnificent frnch food. This dish is delightful & so are you mon ami :)

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha I know right? Lots of gardening and chasing my kids (and new puppy!) around! :)

@diverstalent 7 лет назад

Thank you!!

@angelus656 7 лет назад

In the same week I start a relationship, I mentioned this recipe to my SO, and you posted a video on them, Beth. You're getting a bit psychic hahaha! All the best dear, I'll be making him some of these soon!

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ha ha! That's too funny! Now this week think about a Mexican Scramble atop a hash brown potato waffle...that's next week's episode! Ha! xx

@elsalisa146 6 лет назад

Nice recipe! Like that you chose the levain bread. I thought the croque Madame was made with turkey? Doesn't matter though it will still be delicious.

@byronchandler5000 7 лет назад

Hi, Beth. Your Croquet Monsieur looks beautiful like you. You are very enthusiastic, positive, beautiful, smart, and inspiring. You should definitely make No Bake Lemon Bars. What do you love about lemon recipes? Have a good day, Beth. 🌹💟💟💟

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Oh best part about lemon recipes is that fact that I always have lemons around growing outside on my tree! :) . Definitely the best part! :) So glad you enjoyed the recipe Byron!

@1rimmad1 7 лет назад

If you don't eat pork what's a good replacement for the sandwiches? 🙂

@patriciacacoilo417 7 лет назад

rimsha jaffri any vegetable i think

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Oh sure sliced tomato would be delicious! :)

@MsScorpyscorp 7 лет назад

rimsha jaffri To keep the non veg options alive, maybe some chicken ham.

@mommabear5059 7 лет назад

rimsha jaffri I was wondering the same thing. Maybe very thinly sliced turkey.

@johncornishlandrut 7 лет назад

I'd use turkey breast :)

@la1495 7 лет назад

Dr. Thredson adds nutmeg in his (it makes ALL the difference)

@LaurieGrueninger 7 лет назад

This is insanely yummy! Beth you are marvelous! I want to drive to LA just to give you a hug.

@roseliving2207 6 лет назад

I love your condiment pots! Where can I find some?

@EntertainingWithBeth 6 лет назад

Awe thanks :) . I actually bought those in France but there's a similar mustard pot in my Amazon shop you might like :) Here's the link! amzn.to/2DECWQP

@LovetheLoveliness 7 лет назад

What cheese would you recommnad in place of gruyere? It's not only hard to find gruyere here in Korea but also very expensive! The most common cheese are chedder, mozzarella, and parmasan powder :)

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ahh OK I'd go for mozzarella! It won't be a strong, but would be nice and gooey! Enjoy!

@joannjacquin4983 7 лет назад

These look delicious, Beth. If you were to serve these for breakfast, what would you serve with them?

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

+Joann Jacquin oh sure great idea! I'd serve some roasted potatoes with them instead of the salad here's my foolproof method for those! Enjoy :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OWCEii7HvGE.html

@kathybirkland1212 11 месяцев назад

Does Beth have a cookbook published? I would like to buy one.

@carolynlertzman1879 7 лет назад

Love your sweater! Where is it from?

@collywobbles1163 5 лет назад

Great episode indeed. But, your husband is right re the eggs. Great take on the bread, not in keeping with the original - I'll try it as I love stone baked sough dough bread, Without so much toasting though because the original bread is never toasted. As for the béchamel sauce, no pepper only nutmeg. Not sure why you put in both black and white pepper - very strange. I'd rather a bit of white pepper with the nutmeg.

@sanskritijain225 7 лет назад

yummy😄

@mariumhashim 7 лет назад

hey Beth :) what do I use instead of ham?

@danlewis1871 7 лет назад

Hi Beth! Wondering if you have a recipe for Shepherd's Pie? Thank You :)

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Ah yes! Well sort of :) In this episode is the "French Version" known as Hachis Parmentier, quite delicious! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viiuHYjW-Uw.html then there's the Italian Version my Dad family makes at Thanksgiving: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5wY71ZBR5A.html and then for a vegetarian option might I suggest "Gardner's Pie" :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SIqJ381dXwk.html hope you enjoy!!

@danlewis1871 7 лет назад

hmm thanks Beth Italian? French? decisions decisions! lol

@nitaf71 7 лет назад

I do that to my eggs because I don't like the white of the egg uncooked. i find it gross. I like we'll cooked but a nice soft yolk

@keren.icehand 7 лет назад

💜👍

@chestnut638 7 лет назад

Soooo francais;) Beth, do your girls speak french?

@EntertainingWithBeth 7 лет назад

Mais oui :) When my husband and I got married we agreed that our kids would be bilingual. So he only speaks to them in French and I only speak to them in English (except of course when they are doing something naughty in public then I'll whip out a few choice french phrases ha!) None of my husband's family speaks ANY english. And so it's been really great for my French too! This year I received my French Citizenship and now we are all dual citizens (French-Americans) so yes that was a very long winded answer to say that both languages have equal importance at our house :)

@chestnut638 7 лет назад

Hey!! Felicitations!! Well done all of you!!
