Ingredients
- 1 ½ tsp butter salted
- 1 ½ tsp all-purpose flour unbleached
- ¼ c milk
- ½ tsp salt
- Pinch ground white pepper
- Pinch nutmeg
- 2-3 Tbsp gruyere cheese Emmental, or Swiss cheese, shredded
- 4 thick slices French bread or sourdough bread
- Dijon mustard
- 2 lices ham cooked
- 4 oz gruyere cheese Emmental, or Swiss cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven broiler to medium high.
- To make the Béchamel Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook 1 min over medium-low heat. Add milk, slowly, whisking to incorporate the flour mixture evenly into the milk. Increase heat to medium and heat mixture, stirring constantly until thickened (2-3 min). Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk in shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Remove sauce from heat.
- Place the 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, until toasted. Remove bread from the oven.
- Spread a layer of Dijon mustard over the softer side of two of the slices of toast. Top each with a slice of ham and cheese. Return the two, topped, slices to the oven and broil 1-2 min until the cheese has melted.
- Top with a final slice of toasted bread, and cover each sandwich in Béchamel Sauce. Return the sandwiches to the oven, and broil 3-4 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and golden.
- Serve warm.
