2. Make the creamy spread ๐ฅฃ
In a bowl, mix the crรจme fraรฎche, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Generously spread this mixture over each slice of bread.
3. Add the toppings ๐๐ง
Top with diced ham.
Sprinkle plenty of grated cheese on top to form a nice gratin layer.
4. Bake the tartines ๐
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
Finish with 2 minutes under the grill for a crispy touch (keep a close eye to avoid burning the cheese!)

Take out of the oven and let cool slightly.
Serve warm, ideally with a side of green salad for a balanced meal.
๐ Tips & Variations
For extra flavor: Sprinkle herbs like thyme or oregano over the cheese before baking.
Vegetarian version: Replace ham with sliced mushrooms or tomato rounds.
