For the past several years, I’ve always made Croque Madame on Father’s Day. It’s for my husband, not my dad (RIP). The husband loves anything with fried eggs.
The Croque Madame is my little contribution for the day. The rest is up to the big guy himself and the kids. In most years, he would want an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner. My daughter and I have a running joke about his once-a-year garbage meal. Because that’s our snooty perception of what buffets are. Aren’t they? No? It’s just a joke, okay?!
Her dad, meanwhile, along with her brother, thinks buffets are grand. Quantity, in their view, makes up for quality. Truth be told, there are items on a buffet line sometimes that are quite desirable. I do appreciate the unlimited salad bar and the chocolate fountain.
Last year we couldn’t give the husband the buffet dinner because all buffet restaurants were shuttered. So I think I know what he’ll be asking for next Sunday. Though secretly, the daughter and I are hoping that he won’t.

Hello Angie, I’ve been a social media and linky recluse recently but seeing your description on this Croque Madame in my inbox meant I had to click and come see. This looks amazing and I hope you don’t for buffet too 🙂
Me, too. Definitely been a recluse lately except for hosting FiestaFriday, only because I’m busy with other stuff. At some point I suppose I’ll be more social. It’s great to see you here!
Hi there, thanks for featuring my quinoa salad! It was fun to make.
Do enjoy what should be a great weekend.
Love quinoa in salads! Your tricolor salad looks so pretty. I hope you’re enjoying good weather, too, where you are.
Thanks so much for featuring my Bloody Mary Pork Soup and thanks for hosting. I hope you enjoy the round of recipes I have linked up from Homemade on a Weeknight!
The soup sounds very interesting, Estelle. It also looks delicious!
Thanks so much for featuring the Easy Lemon Bars this week! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Love the easy method, Nancy. Love lemon bars, period.
I love a Croque Madame…. But then…. I love eggs!! These look so good…. I could dive in.
Thanks for featuring my Chelsea Buns…. They could definitely give Cinnamon Buns a run for their money xxx
Never had Chelsea Buns before! Doubt if I can find them here, so prob have to make my own if I want a taste. They sound delightful!
Have a great weekend and thanks so for hosting!
You’re welcome! XO
I truly appreciate you for taking the time each week to host this wonderful party!
You’re welcome, Tamy XO
Loving those Lemon Bars, and the Chelsea Buns too! Thank you for hosting us all again! I brought by some Lemony Pasta with Capers and Greens this week – it’s a quick, light, and refreshing pasta. 🙂
Love the sound of the lemony pasta with capers, CJ. Love anything with lemons or capers, and it has both!
