Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- 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.
- Heat the broiler and lightly toast the bread slices.
- Spread Dijon on two slices, layer with ham and a little gruyere, and close the sandwiches.
- Spread bechamel over the tops and sides and blanket with the remaining gruyere.
- Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden, watching closely so it does not burn.
