Ingredients
- 8 slices Gluten-free bread
- 8 slices Cooked ham
- about 113 g Gruyère cheese
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven broiler to high heat, typically around 260°C.
- 2In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- 3Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue to stir constantly as you bring the sauce to a simmer, cooking for 3-5 minutes, until it has visibly thickened.
- 4Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
- 5Arrange the 8 slices of gluten-free bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place one of the 8 slices of cooked ham on top of each slice of gluten-free bread, then evenly distribute the about 113 g of Gruyère cheese over the ham on all slices.
- 6Spoon the prepared béchamel sauce evenly over the Gruyère cheese on each tartine.
- 7Carefully place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes. Watch closely until the Gruyère cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the gluten-free bread are golden brown.
- 8Serve the Gluten-Free Croque Monsieur Tartines immediately.
