150 g thinly sliced Schneiders® Deli Best Oven Roasted Ham
8 slices country-style bread
⅓ cup red pepper jelly

4 slices jalapeno Cheddar cheese
Easy Cheese Sauce:
1 cup milk (3.25%)
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
¾ cup grated old white Cheddar cheese

Easy Cheese Sauce: Whisk together milk and flour in medium saucepan; heat, whisking constantly, over medium heat until bubbling and thickened. Add cheese gradually, whisking constantly, until melted and smooth. Whisk in mustard, nutmeg, and salt. Keep warm.

Flip toast over and spread half of the slices evenly with red pepper jelly. Top with turkey, ham and jalapeño cheddar cheese. Top with remaining toast slices; spoon cheese sauce over tops of sandwiches, evenly.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Broil sandwiches on centre rack of oven until golden, about 2 minutes.
