Festive Turkey Croque-Monsieur

Ingredients

• 40 g unsalted butter
• 40 g plain flour
• 400 ml milk
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 100 g Stilton
• 8 slices of white bread
• cranberry sauce
• 100 g Gruyère cheese
• 400 g leftover free-range cooked turkey

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.
2. In a saucepan on a low heat, melt the butter until foamy, but not coloured, then stir in the flour. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the cold milk and whisk well to avoid lumps forming.
3. Raise the heat and leave to simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the mustard and crumble in the Stilton, and check the seasoning.
4. Line the bread on the work surface and spread 4 slices with cranberry sauce, then Stilton sauce and grate over half the Gruyère.
5. Top with turkey and sandwich with the remaining bread. Press lightly, then spread the 4 tops with the remaining sauce and finish by grating over the remaining Gruyère.
6. Bake until the cheese melts and the sandwiches turn golden brown. Serve with a green salad
