Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute dried thyme for herbs de Provence.

    Worried about the "soft & spongy" white bread warning, I set the slices out early to dry up a bit and I made the sauce in the morning using the herbs de Provence. I gave it the full 40 minutes (adding the cheese topping in the last 15) and lastly gave it a final run under the broiler. I made a crisp green salad with a fairly assertive lemon mustard vinaigrette & that was perfect next to this creamy cheesey main. A 1/2 recipe = perfect for 2 & we both enjoyed this dinner.

    I ended up with about 9 oz of gruyere, which worked. Mornay was made in the thermomix to save time and the all of it came together in about an hour. Golden at 35 minutes. Texture mostly good but a bit soft in a few places so might do with a few more minutes in the oven or maybe less mornay. More ham, perhaps 8oz.
