Le Bernardin's Salmon-Caviar Croque-Monsieur

1. 1

   Put the bread on a work surface.

2. 2

   Cover two of the slices with cheese in a single layer.

   Spread a layer of caviar on the cheese, not quite to the edges.

4. 4

   Cover with a slice of smoked salmon, trimmed to fit exactly to the edge of the bread.

5. 5

   Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices.

6. 6

   Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

7. 7

   Lay the sandwiches in the skillet and cook, pressing down gently with a spatula, taking care that none of the caviar oozes out, until browned on one side.

8. 8

   Add the remaining butter, turn the sandwiches over and fry on the second side until toasted.

9. 9

   Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, slice each in quarters and serve.
