This sandwich takes those same key ingredients and combines them into a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold day or a comforting dinner. The tangy mustard and creamy bechamel sauce add extra depth of flavor, while the melted Reblochon cheese ties all the flavors together into a gooey and delicious sandwich.
