- Heat a saucepan and add the milk, olive oil, cornflour and mustard. Stir well constantly until thick then add a handful of cheese, mix well then add another handful. Cook over low heat until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a grill. Meanwhile, butter the bread and make 2 ham sandwiches. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a fry pan. Dip one side of the sandwich in oil then place under a grill on a tray oil side up. Grill until browned. Turn and lightly grill the other side.
- Paste the cheese mixture on this side and spread right out to the edges of the bread. Place back under the grill until bubbling. Top each sandwich with a couple of cornichons and serve. Delicious.
