Cheesy Ham Melt

I came up with this quick and easy dish after Easter as I had so much left over ham and how many ham sandwiches can my family possibly eat. I simply took ingredients I had on hand and put this together. My family loved this after eating so much leftover ham.  This disappeared quickly. You can do this just as easy with deli ham slices too!

NOTE- you will have leftover sauce, but this cheesy sauce is delicious on anything !

INGREDIENTS
1 frozen package of 5 cheese garlic bread (I used Pepperidge Farm)
Leftover ham slices, about 1/2 pound
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Cover a sheet pan with tin foil. Place your frozen garlic bread on the baking sheet cheese side up and bake for ten minutes. While the bread is baking make the sauce. In a small saucepan melt the butter, add the flour and whisk for just a couple minutes, add the milk whisking to get out any lumps. Add the cheeses and continue whisking until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue to cook until sauce thickens.
After the bread had baked for the first ten minutes, add the sliced ham on to the bread and drizzle with the thickened sauce. Turn the oven to broil, leaving the oven door cracked slightly and broil for 2 more minutes. Remove from oven, slice and serve warm.

Enjoy!
