Ingredients
For the béchamel:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk, preferably whole
For the sandwiches:
- 2 slices of good quality country-style or sourdough bread
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 slices smoked deli ham
- 4 slices Swiss or Gruyere cheese Nonstick cooking spray
Preparation
- To make the béchamel, heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until the mixture smells nutty and is just golden.
- Pour in milk in a slow stream, continuing to whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve, whisking occasionally to prevent lumps.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Lightly coat AirFryer Basket with nonstick cooking spray and place onto Baking/Drip Pan. Place the bread slices into the basket. Spread the top of each slice with 2 teaspoons of mustard and layer with 2 slices of ham. Spoon béchamel over the ham and top with 2 slices of cheese.
- Put the prepared basket on pan into rack Position 2. Select Broil for 20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. Sandwiches are done when the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
