Ingredients
- 4 Slices of Honey Oat Bread or any bread of your choice, sliced about 1/2” thick
- 1 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter
- 1 Tbsp of All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup of Milk
- 1/4 cup of Freshly Grated Parmiggiano
- A Touch of Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- A few slices of Swiss Cheese
- A few slices of Thinly Sliced Ham
- About 2 Tbsp of Melted Butter
Preparation
-
1) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of the bread with melted butter and pop them in the oven to toast on both sides, you will most likely have to flip them half way through.
2) In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, add the flour and cook them together stirring constantly for about a minute. Add the milk, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook the sauce on medium heat until it thickens, it should take about 5 minutes, stir in the cheese and set aside.
3) Switch the broiler on to high. To assemble the sandwich, smear some of the mustard on one slice of the toasted bread, lay one slice of cheese followed by a couple slices of ham and finished off with another slice of cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, smear some of the bechamel on top of the bread and top it with a slice of cheese.
4) Pop the sandwiches under the broiler but make sure your oven rack is not right under the broiler otherwise the cheese will burn.
5) Allow the cheese to brown and bubble and enjoy!
