Method

  1. Prep and measure everything first; this croque monsieur moves fast once the pan is hot.

  2. Heat unsalted butter over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. Add shallots and cook until fragrant, stirring so nothing catches.

  4. Toss in the main ingredients with dry red wine and stir-fry until just cooked through.

  5. Taste, balance the seasoning, and serve right away while hot.
