DECADENT CROQUE MONSIEUR
This is a pretty amazing recipe for croque monsieur. I wouldn't say it's nowhere near healthy but wow, it sure is good. I got this from a friend who is friends with a rather famous chef-it's his recipe. I'm just passing it along to the masses. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour until blended but not colored, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place all 8 bread slices on a work surface in a single layer. Spread each slice evenly to the edges with Bechamel sauce; all the sauce may not be needed. Divide ham evenly between 4 of the bread slices, trimming if necessary so it is within 1/2 inch from the edges. Top all 8 slices with equal amounts of Gruyere cheese, spreading it evenly to within 1/4 inch of the edges.
- Lift the 4 bread slices with sauce and cheese and keeping the cheese facing up, place on top of the slices layered with ham. Transfer sandwiches to the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
