Plus it’s 100% whole wheat and best of all, it’s baked in Canada. INGREDIENTS For the Sandwich4 slices of Country Harvest 14 Grains bread2 tbsp butter: For spreading on the bread and creating that golden-brown crust.4-6 slices deli meat: I used sliced chicken cold cuts, but ham or turkey are great options.½ cup grated Gruyere cheese: This classic French cheese melts beautifully, but sharp cheddar is a great substitute.For the Herbed Béchamel Sauce2 tbsp butter: For the base of the roux.2 tbsp flour: To thicken the sauce.1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative: I used oat milk for a creamy yet dairy-free version.1 tbsp Dijon mustard: Adds a tangy depth of flavor.¼ tsp dried rosemary, thyme, and tarragon: These herbs elevate the sauce to gourmet status.Pinch of nutmeg: A classic addition to béchamel for warmth and subtle spice.Want the full written directions?

After taking some time off to enjoy being back home in Quebec City, I'm inspired and excited to get back in the kitchen this week and start working on new recipes to share, as well as continuing to add more home & lifestyle articles to MayEightyFive (which a bunch of you have been loving 🥹). I've already had a few requests for guides and tips you want to read about, but if there is anything you can think of that you would like help on or topics you like these "home and lifestyle" posts to cover, I'm all ears. Feel free to send me a DM!I already have some fun projects in the works and can't wait to share soon. Don't forget to keep checking my website since there's new content going live every week, and some of it doesn't make it on here (but I'll do a better job of updating new posts on stories). Thanks for being here and wishing you an incredible 2025- Christopher 🥂✌🏼❤️
