Simple Croque Monsieur

[Sass Muffin]

This is the recipe I am using but will be subbing a good wheat bread.
It was a pain to try and copy the entire thing from my phone, as the one page kept jumping.
So, links are provided.

-Ingredients-

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for toasting bread in the pan

2 tablespoons all- purpose flour

1 pinch nutmeg

1 cup warm milk

4 thick slices white bread

dijon mustard, for spreading

4 ounces ham, sliced, we like black forest but any will do

4 ounces gruyere cheese, sliced

1/4 cup gruyere cheese, shredded

These have got to be the most time consuming - pain in the butt,delicious sandwiches to make.
DIL wasn't wild about the taste of bechamel.. I dropped one on the counter top and basically destroyed the top.

We had tomato soup to go with. Lol

Looks wonderful. Is there supposed to be sauce on top?

 

[Sass Muffin]

Yes Peeps.
The next time I'm going to try the baked ones that I'd originally planned on Williams Sanoma's website.

I only just heard about this sandwich a year or two ago, and have never made one.

Looks delicious, Sass, so I may give it a try!
