Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400°F. Melt the butter; stir in the flour for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk; simmer 1-2 minutes until thickened. Season with the mustard powder.

Step 2

Toast one side of each bread slice under the broiler. Keep watching.

Step 3

Put a spoonful of sauce and half the cheese on two untoasted faces. Add the ham, then the remaining bread, untoasted side up.

Step 4

Cover the tops with the remaining sauce and cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden and hot throughout. Halve each sandwich to give 4 portions.

Step 5

Preheat the broiler; lightly toast both sides of the bread.

Step 6

Beat the eggs and mix with the grated cheese, chopped ham and mustard. Divide over the toast in a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Broil 3-5 minutes, watching closely. The topping must set and reach 160°F; if browning too fast, move the tray lower.
