1
Prepare the béchamel sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
2
Assemble the sandwiches
On two slices of sourdough bread, layer the ham and a generous amount of Gruyère cheese. Top with the other two slices of bread to form sandwiches.
3
Grill the sandwiches
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the outer sides of the sandwiches. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4
Add béchamel and finish cooking
Once the sandwiches are golden, remove them from the skillet. Pour the béchamel sauce over the top and sprinkle additional Gruyère cheese. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
5
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then cut in half and serve immediately.
