Serves 2
Ingredients
• 200g Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base
• 80g water
• 12g Dijon mustard (1)
• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 0g melted butter
• 6g Dijon mustard (2)
• 150g grated gruyere or smoked cheddar cheese
• 14 slices champaign ham, sliced

Method
Bring the Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base, water and first measure of mustard to a simmer, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Brush one side of each slice of sourdough with the melted butter, grill until toasty brown.
On a chopping board, place down each piece of sourdough with the untoasted side facing upwards. Spread each slice with a thin layer of mustard, approximately 25 grams of grated cheese, followed by a slice of ham. Combine two pieces to make one sandwich and repeat again.
Spread a layer of the Barker’s Professional Cream Style Meal Base mixture over the top of each sandwich followed by roughly 25 grams of grated cheese.
Grill at 200°C for at least 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
