Ingredients

• 4 slices pain de mie bread
• 4 oz sliced ham
• 1 cup grated gruyere cheese
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Method

1. Make a bechamel: melt the butter, whisk in the flour, and cook 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk until thick, seasoning with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the broiler and lightly toast the bread slices.
3. Spread Dijon on two slices, layer with ham and a little gruyere, and close the sandwiches.
4. Spread bechamel over the tops and sides and blanket with the remaining gruyere.
5. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden, watching closely so it does not burn.
