Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 190°C.
2. 2In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Gradually whisk in the 1/2 cup of heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3Stir the 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper into the thickened cream sauce.
4. 4Lay out two slices of the 4 slices Keto Bread. Spread a generous amount of the béchamel sauce evenly over the top of these two slices.
5. 5Place 2 slices of the 4 slices Ham on top of the sauce on each slice of bread. Then, evenly distribute about 57 g of the about 113 g Gruyère Cheese over the ham on each sandwich.
6. 6Place the remaining two slices of Keto Bread on top of the cheese to complete the sandwiches.
7. 7Spread a thin layer of the remaining béchamel sauce over the top of each assembled sandwich.
8. 8Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. The sandwiches are ready when the tops are golden brown and the Gruyère cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. 9Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve hot.
