Ingredients

1/3 cup Dijon mustard 

1/3 cup mayonnaise 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

12 small slices rustic bread, lightly toasted 

Thinly sliced Beaufort, raclette, Gruyère, or other Alpine melting cheese 

Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth; season with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container.)

Evenly slather lightly toasted bread slices with a layer of mustard sauce. Top evenly with cheese and place on a baking sheet; broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes, and serve immediately.
