Ingredients 

  • 1 small bunch of kale torn from stems
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3 tbsp butter divided
  • 2 tbsp gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices Udi's® Gluten Free Multigrain Sandwich Bread
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 8 sliced ham
  • 4 eggs

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the kale on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, lightly toss, and roast for 10 more minutes or until just crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add milk and cook until thickened, whisking frequently. Once thickened, stir in 1 cup shredded cheese. Set aside.
  • To assemble sandwiches, butter one side of each slice of bread. Lay 4 slices, buttered side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread mustard on each slice. On each slice, add kale, 2 slices of ham and 2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Close sandwiches with remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side up.
  • Place baking sheet in oven and broil 2 minutes per side. Spoon about 1/3 cup of bechamel sauce over sandwich and return to broiler for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs.
  • Place an egg on each sandwich and enjoy!
