step 1
Get a small sauce pan on the stove and start to melt the Butter (3 Tbsp) over medium-high heat. Whisk in the All-Purpose Flour (3 Tbsp) until you have a golden brown, thick roux. Slowly pour in the Milk (1 1/2 cups) while you keep whisking.
step 2
Add in the Salt (1 pinch), then let the sauce gently simmer on medium heat for 5-10 minutes, whisking it occasionally, until it is thick and luscious.

Get out a 9 by 13-inch baking pan and spray it well with cooking spray. Lay out the Croissants (8) in an even layer on the bottom, followed by the Ham (1 cup). Spread the finished béchamel on top of that in a thin layer.
