    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • ½ cup diced smoked ham
    • 🧅 ½ cup diced onion
    • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk
    • 🥛 1 tablespoon milk
    • 🧀 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

2

Combine bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon melted butter in a small bowl.

3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook ham and onion until the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add thyme and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook until the flour smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk.

5

Return saucepan to medium heat and stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, Dijon, cayenne, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

6

Fold in cooked chicken and diced pickles.

7

Place toasted bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush one side with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Flip slices and top each with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining Gruyère cheese and prepared bread crumbs.

8

Bake sandwiches in the preheated oven until the cheese bubbles and the chicken mixture is heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
