Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Cut 2 ²⁄₃ cups ham in small dices.

I use here a heel of ham, but no problem to use slices, cut them if possible in strips in this case.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Prepare 3 shallots and slice it.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

In a small skillet over medium heat, pour in 6 tablespoons olive oil and when hot add the shallot.

Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Add the ham...

Stage 5 - 8 min.

...and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Remove from heat and add chopped parsley.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Place 12 slices bread in a baking sheet protected by a sheet of baking paper.

You can toast the slices (like the ones on the left in the photo) if you like the crunchiness, but it's not necessary.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Spread each slice of bread with a generous layer of béchamel.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Spread the grilled ham.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Stage 11 - 20 min.

Put in the oven for about 20 minutes, watch the coloring and don't hesitate to finish with a small blow of grill.

Stage 12

Serve hot or warm.

Remarks

You can replace the ham with lardons, or even leftover cold cuts.

Keeping
