Ingredients
For the Sauce
¼ cup Président unsalted butter (½ stick)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups Président UHT whole milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
Dash of ground nutmeg
For the Sandwich
8 slices of Le Petit Français brioche bread
5 ounces Citterio Deli Style Cooked Ham (about 8 slices)
6 ounces of Mozzarella Galbani (about 2½ cups)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Start making the sauce by melting the Président unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
Gradually add the Président UHT whole milk, stirring well until the mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened.
Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and whisk in mustard and nutmeg. Set aside while you make the sandwiches.
Line a baking tray with Diamond cooking and baking paper and set aside.
Spread each Le Petit Français brioche bread slice with a layer of the sauce, spreading it all the way to the edges. Place 4 slices of brioche bread, béchamel side up, on prepared baking sheet.
Top each with a piece of Citterio cooked ham and a handful of mozzarella Galbani. Place remaining slices of bread on top, béchamel side up, then top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes, until cheese is melted, and then turn the oven to broil and broil until the cheese on top is lightly golden, 2-4 minutes.
