Truffled Brioche Croque Madame with Lemon-Thyme Arugula

"A decadent twist on the classic French croque madame: brioche bread layered with rosemary ham, gruyère cheese, and a truffle béchamel sauce, all topped with a perfectly fried egg. Garnished with edible violets (a wink at wedding bouquets) and served with a side of lemon-thyme arugula salad tossed in champagne vinaigrette."
