Equipment

  • 1 Heavy frypan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices Crusty Bread - sourdough
  • 4 Slices Ham - Smoked
  • 4 slices Compte Cheese
  • 150 gm Bechamel Sauce
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Butter

Instructions
 

  • This is a relatively easy process to construct. I like to spread the béchamel sauce on both inside layers of the sandwich to begin with.
  • Then a slice of cheese, upon which I spread a little Dijon mustard.
  • Then the ham is layered on, and topped with another slice of Compte cheese.
  • Finally add the second slice of bread, béchamel side down. Spread softened butter on both outer surfaces of the sandwich.
  • In a medium hot pan fry off the first side of the sandwich, till golden brown.
  • Then flip over and toast the second side, again till golden brown.
  • If the sandwich is not heated through and the cheese all oozy, place in a pre-heated oven 180c for 10 minutes.
  • Now serve and enjoy.
