This is the bechamel sauce.
Spread again the joy (butter). Toast the bread one side and turn it over. Add thyme.
Repeat. This is for two.
Preheat the grill to high. Get a griddle and cover it with a wax paper. Place the toasts on it. Be gentle; it’s a Madame afterall. Spread the bechamel sauce on the bread. You must be generous. Add cheese and ham and thyme and pepper (black it is). Put the griddle into the oven. Keep calm and carry on until the cheese melts.
This is what you get.
Get some eggs. (You know how to crack an egg into the pan). Top the toasts with the eggs.They should look like these. Keep staring.
Serve with some rocket leaves. You’re almost there.
This is Polyphemus and you are Nobody. Let the day begin.
And as the song goes let it rock your heart for life.
