- 1/2 Cup Grated Asiago Cheese
- 4 Slices Ham
- 2 English Muffins (Split, Toasted, and Buttered) or 4 Slices of Bread (Toasted & Buttered)

- In a small-size saucepan, melt butter. Blend in flour and stir over a medium-high heat for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth and cream. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Whisk in grated cheese until melted. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
