The Croque-Monsieur is a classic French sandwich featuring layers of ham and cheese, topped with a creamy béchamel sauce. This recipe elevates the traditional Croque-Monsieur with the perfect balance of flavors and textures, resulting in a decadent and satisfying meal.

Ingredients: 8 slices of good quality white bread. 8 slices of ham. 200g Gruyre cheese, grated. 4 tbsp Dijon mustard. 4 tbsp unsalted butter. 4 tbsp all-purpose flour. 2 cups whole milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Pinch of nutmeg.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. Spread Dijon mustard on 4 slices of bread, then layer each with 2 slices of ham and a handful of grated Gruyre cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour sauce evenly over each sandwich, then sprinkle with more grated Gruyre cheese. Transfer sandwiches to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Serve hot, optionally with a side salad or pickles.
