Method

1

Prepara una besciamella leggera: in un pentolino, scalda l'olio e aggiungi la farina, mescolando fino a ottenere un roux dorato.

2

Aggiungi lentamente il latte scremato, mescolando continuamente fino a ottenere una consistenza cremosa.

3

Insaporisci con sale, pepe e noce moscata.

4

Su due fette di pane, spalma un cucchiaio di senape e copri con fette di petto di pollo.

5

Versa un po' di besciamella sopra il pollo e aggiungi una spolverata di formaggio light.

6

Chiudi i panini con le fette di pane rimanenti e ricopri la parte superiore con il resto della besciamella e formaggio.

7

Cuoci in forno preriscaldato a 200°C per 15 minuti, fino a doratura.

8

Fai gratinare per 5 minuti sotto il grill, controllando attentamente.
