Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup diced smoked ham
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 1/2 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
- 1/4 cup diced dill pickles
- 4 (1/2 inch thick) slices toasted French bread
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter, divided
Instructions
- 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.
