- Lay the ham on top of the mustard followed by 2 slices of the provolone.
- Place both slices of the bread into the melted butter and toast for about 1 minute on low.
- Place the pan under the broiler to melt the provolone topped sandwich, about 30 seconds.
- Take the pan from the broiler and place the empty piece of bread on top of the ham/cheese piece.
- Place the remaining slice of Provolone on top of the sandwich.
- Pour the béchamel over the top of the sandwich and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons Grana Parmesan.
- Place back under the broiler until the top starts to bubble. Watch it carefully.
