Instructions

Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes to eliminate raw flour flavour.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps, then continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
Whisk in dry mustard, ground ginger, shredded gruyere, and grated parmesan. Cook and stir until cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Preheat broiler. Evenly spread whole grain mustard on one side of each toasted sourdough slice. Top each with sliced ham.
Place ham-topped toasts on a baking sheet. Ladle approximately 60 millilitres of mornay sauce over each slice, creating a slight well in the centre. Gently nestle an egg yolk into each well.
Broil toasts until sauce is bubbling and yolks remain soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe can be customized with different cheeses if desired.
Ensure to keep an eye while broiling to prevent the egg yolks from overcooking.
