| 3 tablespoons | unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons softened |
| 1 | jalapeno, seeded and finely diced |
| 1/2 teaspoon | seafood seasoning, (recommended: Old Bay) |
| 2 tablespoons | all-purpose flour |
| 2 cups | whole milk |
| Salt | |
| freshly ground black pepper | |
| 4 cups | shredded Gruyere |
| 1 cup | shredded mozzarella |
| 4 (1/2-inch) thick slices | good quality maple baked ham |
| 8 thick-cut slices | hearty white bread |
Preheat a grill pan over medium-low heat
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the 3 tablespoons butter, jalapeno and seafood seasoning. Cook until the jalapeno begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Next, add the flour and stir to combine and make a blond roux, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the Gruyere and mozzarella and turn the heat to low. Cook for 2 minutes, and then cover to keep warm.
Place the ham on the grill and cook until well marked and warmed, about 2 minutes per side.
Spread 1 tablespoon softened butter on one side of the bread slices and place on the grill, about 2 minutes. Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon softened butter on the other side and flip, cooking about 2 minutes more. Evenly divide the cheese sauce on 4 slices bread and top with 1 slice ham. Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top to create a sandwich.
