Ingredients
Method
Pre-heat oven grill. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture begins to bubble.
Gradually pour in the milk, while stirring to create a smooth rich béchamel sauce. Bring the saucepan to the boil, then reduce heat to medium while stirring for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place one half of the Brioche Hamburger Buns on a tray, and assemble by adding 2 slices of ham to each bun, topping with ½ cup of grated cheese. Place in the oven until cheese begins to melt. Remove tray from oven. Add a generous spoonful of béchamel sauce and top with remaining Brioche Hamburger Bun, before returning to the oven.
Grill until golden brown. Remove from the oven and top each Brioche Hamburger Bun with a fried egg. Serve immediately.
