Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • casserole dish
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces Croissants
  • 200 g shaved ham
  • 6 slices cheese
  • 4 pieces eggs
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 30 g butter
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
  • Man Grind to taste

Instructions
 

Béchamel

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add flour. Cook off for about 30 seconds to one minute.
  • Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and starting to thicken. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for two minutes while stirring.
  • Add mustard and season well with Man Grind. Remove from the heat. You should have a fairly thick béchamel sauce.

Assembly

  • Cut the croissants in half horizontally. Spread a little béchamel on each half of the croissant and place a couple of slices of ham and a slice of cheese on top. Repeat with all the croissants. You should have some béchamel left over for the top.
  • Cut the filled croissants in half and arrange in a shallow casserole or baking dish.
  • Whisk together 4 eggs and ¼ cup of milk and season with Man Grind. Pour over the filled croissants and give them a gentle push or jiggle to encourage them to soak up a little or the egg on the bottom.
  • Dollop any remaining béchamel ontop of the croissants and add a little additional grated cheese if you like.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 180C Fan Bake or until golden and the egg has puffed up. Keep a fairly close eye on it because the croissants can burn easily.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the béchamel sauce thick for the best results while baking.
