Preheat a large skillet or grill pan on the stove over medium heat.

Make sandwiches by laying down a layer of cheese to taste, then ham to taste on one slice, spread a little Dijon mustard on the other; close up to make the sandwich, then butter both outside surfaces well. Fry in the pre-heated pan until the bread is nicely toasted and golden around the edges on both sides.

It’s a nice touch to trim off the crusts and cut in half before plating. This is traditionally served with pommes frites and a light salad with vinaigrette on the side, but the sandwich should be lightly covered with a delicious Bechamel Sauce.

Place on a grill tray or place in the over for 5 minutes, or until bechamel is nice and brown, and bubbling.
