Open-Face Ham and Cheddar Sandwiches
Wonderful way to use any left over ham, or some thinly sliced Black Forest Ham. Freshly cut apples and a side salad of green-leaf lettuces completes the meal.
Ingredients:
3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, or 8 1/2" slices country-style bread
2-3 tbsp olive oil
6 tbsp apple butter
4 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 1/4 lbs ham (left-over or Black Forest Ham), thinly sliced
12 oz extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced
1 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
Brush cut side of ciabatta rolls with oil. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. Top with ham, then cheese. Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
