Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon butter, melted
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup diced smoked ham
½ cup diced onion
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon milk
½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
¼ cup diced dill pickles
4 (1/2 inch thick) slices toasted French bread
¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon melted butter, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Combine bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon melted butter in a small bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir ham and onion in melted butter until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour has lost its raw smell, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk. Place saucepan back over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and add 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  • Stir chicken and diced pickle into cheese sauce.
  • Place toasted bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush one side of each bread slice with 3/4 teaspoon melted butter. Turn slices over and top each with 1/4 of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded Gruyere cheese over the top of each sandwich. Top with bread crumb mixture.
  • Bake sandwiches in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and chicken mixture is hot, 15 to 20 minutes.

This sandwich is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making it with turkey bacon next time.
