Instructions

  • 1.   Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).

    In a cup, heat the milk in the microwave for one to one and a half minutes.
    Mix the cornstarch with two tablespoons of water and pour into the hot milk.
    Put it back in the microwave for a few moments until it reaches a creamy consistency. Do this in several intervals, making sure the mixture doesn't overflow in case of boiling.
    Season with salt and pepper, and add a little grated nutmeg (if you like).
  • 3.   Spread a tablespoon of béchamel sauce on a large slice of American sandwich bread.
  • 4.   Place the ham on top and cover with the second slice of bread.
  • 5.   Spread a generous tablespoon of béchamel sauce on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
