  2. Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan and add the flour all at once, stirring with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the butter/flour mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thickened.

  5. To toast the bread, place the slices on two baking sheets and bake for 5 minutes.

  8. Top with another piece of toasted bread.
  9. Slather the tops with the cheese sauce, sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere and bake the sandwiches for 5 minutes.
