For the sauce:

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.
