Ingredients
For white sauce:
- 1 Tbs. butter plus extra for butter the bread
- 1 Tbs. flour
- ½ cup milk warmed
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
- shake nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
For sandwiches:
- 6-8 slices sandwich bread
- ½ lb. ham thinly sliced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
Instructions
For white sauce:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute.
- Whisk in the milk and seasonings. Cook for a couple of minutes until thickened.
For sandwiches:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle.
- Spread the sauce on a slice of bread, top with ham and the other slice of bread.
- Butter the outside of the bread. I found this easiest to do by putting the sandwich on a plate and buttering one side, flipping to butter the other.
- Press both sides of the sandwich into the shredded cheese and place on the griddle or skillet.
- Cook for several minutes, until golden brown then flip to cook the other side.
