CROQUE MONSIEUR CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Melt butter over low heat. Add flour and mix w/ wisk for 2 min. Gradually add 2 ¾ c milk, continuing to wisk briskly. When sauce boils, season w/ salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add ½ cup of Gruyere. Season to taste. I always use lots of lemon juice (usually most if not all the juice from one whole lemon), Tony's, more nutmeg, a dash or 2 of dark Lea and Perrins and a slightly larger amount of white Lea and Perrins. Make sure the finished sauce is thin enough. If it's thick like gravy, thin it out a little with milk - you want to have plenty of sauce and you want it to seep into the bread some. Combine ¼ c milk and beer in a bowl. Add the remaining Gruyere to this liquid. Soak for 2 min, then drain. Spread some sauce on bottom of lasagna pan. Layer with bread/sauce/ham/sauce/beer-soaked cheese. This should make 3 layers, finishing with cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes and then broil until top is golden. You can make ahead and refrigerate before baking, in which case you need 45-60 min cooking time. Leftovers also microwave pretty decently.
