Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 rounded tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg, eyeball it
2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard
2 slices white bread
2 large eggs
4 slices deli ham
4 slices deli Swiss cheese
Chopped parsley leaves, chives or thyme leaves, for garnish - choose from any or all on hand

Steps:

  • Place a small sauce pot over medium low heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter in it. Whisk in a rounded tablespoon of flour and cook 1 minute or so. Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble then drop heat to low. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, nutmeg and Dijon. When sauce coats back of a spoon, turn off heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in each of 2 medium nonstick skillets, both over medium low heat. When butter melts add 2 large eggs to the first skillet, keeping the whites separate from each other. To the second skillet add 2 slices bread and toast lightly on first side then turn the bread. Top turned bread liberally with sauce and 2 slices of the ham and the Swiss cheese on each slice of bread. Use a spatula to transfer the eggs to the tops of the open faced sandwiches. Cover the pan with foil and turn off heat. Let pan stand 5 minutes to melt cheese and set sauce and eggs.
  • Top sandwiches with chopped herb or herbs of choice and serve. Spoon any leftover sauce over top of the eggs before garnishing.

This recipe was a disaster! The béchamel sauce curdled and the egg on top was runny. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The béchamel sauce was a bit bland and the ham and cheese were not very flavorful. I would not make this again.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the béchamel sauce and the egg on top was overcooked. I would recommend this recipe to experienced cooks only.

I'm not a fan of béchamel sauce, but this recipe was still really good. The ham and cheese were perfectly melted and the egg on top was cooked just the way I like it.
