What the Beck???
I toasted my bread in the oven, but next time will do it in a toaster.
Spread on the Dijon
Melt the butter
Add in the flour
Whisk until thickened
Add in the cheeses and salt and pepper
The original recipe used black forest ham (left), but
I like the pastrami better. So, I removed it from my
revised recipe.
On went the cheese sauce
The rest of the cheese sauce on top
Unfortunately, my broiler wasn't working, so the
the cheese is dark and hot like it should have been.

I figured out that there are
1,000 calories, if 1 serving is
made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the
specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
My Revised Recipe:
2 slices of good, crusty, seedy bread
1 Tablespoon butter
¼ tablespoon of white flour
¼ cup whole milk – no skim!!!
1/3 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
¼ cup shredded Provolone cheese
1 ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard + a dash
1 large egg
¼ pound sliced pastrami
Directions:
Toast
the bread, let it cool, and then spread the Dijon on one side, and set it
aside.
To
make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Add
the flour and whisk it until mixed, but not browned (about 1 minute). Turn the
heat up to medium, and slowly, whisk in the milk and let the mixture start a
gentle boil. When it begins the boil, turn the heat down to medium low and cook
until thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and add in about ¾ of
the cheeses and a dash of mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend it until smooth and creamy. Put the cheese
in a bowl and put plastic wrap right on the surface of the sauce and let it
cool.
Prepare
the egg. I don’t like my eggs over
easy, so I made mine over hard.
Make the type that you love. I fried the egg in a little butter.
Build the Sandwich (on a pie tin):
Take
the bread (already mustarded – I know it isn’t a word). Now, add on the pastrami
and about ½ of the cheese sauce. Put the second piece of bread on top and
smother the top with the remaining cheese sauce. Broil the sammy until the
cheese is golden and melted. Top your sandwich with an egg. Serve immediately.
Then,
thank God you are alive and eating this amazing sandwich!!!
Add in the milk
It's over hard!
