Dijon mustard

Preheat the broiler to 400 degrees F.

Melt the margarine over low warmth in a little pan and include the flour at the same time, mixing with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Gradually empty the hot milk into the butter–flour mixture and cook, whisking continually, until the sauce is thickened. Off the warmth include the salt, pepper, nutmeg, 1/2 mug ground Gruyere, and the Parmesan and put aside.

To toast the bread, put the cuts on 2 heating sheets and heat for 5 minutes. Turn every cut and prepare for an additional 2 minutes, until toasted.

Daintily brush a large portion of the toasted breads with mustard, add a cut of ham to every, and sprinkle with a large portion of the remaining Gruyere. Top with another bit of toasted bread. Slather the finish with the cheddar sauce, sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere, and prepare the sandwiches for 5 minutes. Turn on the oven and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the garnish is bubbly and gently cooke
