What to get ready

  • Photograph of Sliced sandwich bread Sliced sandwich bread 8 slices
  • Photograph of Ham Ham 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Grated cheese Grated cheese 4.2 oz
  • Photograph of Unsalted butter Unsalted butter 1.7 oz
  • Photograph of Flour Flour 1.4 oz
  • Photograph of Fresh milk Fresh milk 1 ⅓ cups

Method

  1. 1 Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the flour and stir for 2 minutes until the flour is cooked without changing color.
  2. 2 Pour in the fresh milk little by little, stirring continuously for 5 minutes until the béchamel sauce is smooth and creamy, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3 Spread a layer of béchamel sauce on the inside of two slices of bread, place the ham and half of the cheese in the middle, then close them up.
  4. 4 Spread the béchamel sauce over the bread, then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly over it.
  5. 5 Bake at 200°C for 12 minutes, then switch to top grill for an additional 3 minutes to brown the cheese.
  6. 6 Let the bread rest for 2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve hot with a green salad.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 19 min

    Replace step 5: spray oil on the cheese surface, run the air fryer at 215 degrees for 8 minutes, then rotate the pizza at the 4th minute; the surface browns faster after 7 minutes, the fryer is small so only one pizza can be placed at a time.
