This yummy recipe was adapted from the May 2008 edition of Everyday with Rachel Ray.  Hope you enjoy it!

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 cup whole milk

Salt and Pepper

1 tablespoon honey mustard

1 baguette, split lengthwise and halved crosswise

1/2 pound pepperoni and/or Canadian bacon

2 cups mozzarella cheese (use havarti for less lactose)

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 2/3 teaspoons dried thyme

1 small shallot, finely chopped

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Note:  You can add your favorite pizza toppings if you desire

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. In a small saucepan, cook the butter and flour over medium-low heat, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon mustard.
2. Slather a quarter of the white sauce over each baguette quarter, then top with the pepperoni, cheese and thyme. Bake until the cheese is bubbly, about 12 minutes.
3. Enjoy!
