Directions
For the béchamel: combine milk, garlic, and thyme in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering. Meanwhile, melt butter in a separate saucepan. Add flour to butter and whisk for 2 minutes. Strain warm milk into flour mixture, and discard the garlic and thyme. Whisk the mixture frequently until sauce is thick and somewhat elastic, about 4 minutes. Remove béchamel from heat and whisk in nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To assemble sandwiches: Preheat broiler. Place 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet and spread the top of each piece with mustard. Top each slice with 2 pieces of ham and ½ c Emmentaler. Top with remaining 4 slices of bread. Spread the top of each sandwich with béchamel sauce and sprinkle with remaining Emmentaler, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and herbes de Provence. Broil until golden brown and bubbling, 6-7 minutes. Season with black pepper, to taste. Let sandwiches rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Note: To transform your Croque Monsieur into a Croque Madame, top each sandwich with 1 egg fried sunny-side up.
