Ingredients:
  • 40g butter
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 257.50 gm milk
  • 62.50 gm white wine
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 6 eggs
  • 252.50 gm thickened cream
  • 320g baguette, cut into 1.5cm slices
  • 250g sliced ham, torn into large pieces
  • 250.00 ml grated cheddar
  • Salad leaves, to serve
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and generously grease an 8-cup-capacity, 6cm-deep 22cm x 32cm oval baking dish.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes until golden. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Return to heat, then add wine and thyme. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until mixture thickens and starts to boil. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool slightly before using.
  • In a bowl, combine whisked eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Generously spread white sauce on both sides of each bread slice. Place ham on top. Arrange bread slices upright in a dish. Pour over the egg mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Bake for 40 minutes until golden and set. Sprinkle with extra thyme and serve with salad leaves.
