BREADLESS HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES



Breadless Ham and Cheese Sandwiches image

At first glance, these look like conventional ham and cheese, but that's crunchy jicama, not bread, holding together the fiber-packed sandwiches. And you won't miss the carbs: each bite is a winning combination of salty-creaminess, sharp horseradish, and peppery arugula.

Time 10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon finely sliced chives
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish

1 medium jicama, about 4 inches wide, peeled and cut into eight 1/3-inch rounds
6 ounces sliced low-sodium deli ham
4 slices Havarti cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 cups baby arugula
Dill pickle spears for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Stir together the sour cream, chives, mustard, horseradish and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Lay four slices of jicama out on a work surface. Spread each with some of the mustard-horseradish sauce, top each with 1/4 of the ham, a slice of cheese, and about 1/2 cup of arugula. Sandwich with the remaining jicama slices, cut in half and serve with a pickle spear if using.
