For the sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and mix vigorously with a whisk; cook for 1 minute while still whisking. Gradually add milk, mixing with the whisk to prevent lumps. Bring to a slow boil and cook for about 3 minutes. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.

For the sandwich:

Cook eggs, keep warm. On a cookie sheet, place bread slices. Pour béchamel sauce over each slice. Then layer a slice of ham and some Gruyere cheese over each slice. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove and place sandwiches on individual plates and top with eggs. Serve warm.
