Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
2
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of ham, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a spoonful of béchamel sauce on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
3
Grill the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown.
4
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and a side of fruit or salad for a well-rounded meal.
