HOT HAM AND CHEESE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Hot Ham and Cheese With Caramelized Onions image

Since I was dining alone tonight and had been in the kitchen baking all day, I threw this sammie together with what I had on hand in the refrigerator. It was heavenly!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 12m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices pumpernickel bread
2 tablespoons garlic & herb spreadable cheese (I used Alouette Garlic & Herbs Creme de Brie)
1 tablespoon sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 tablespoon Italian cheese blend, finely grated
2 ounces honey-roasted ham, thinly deli sliced
2 tablespoons leftover caramelized onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425*.
  • Place both slices of bread on a cookie sheet. On one, spread garlic herb cheese, sprinkle with cheddar. On the other slice, layer ham, caramelized onion and top with italian cheese blend. Leave sandsich open.
  • Bake in oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese begins to bubble and all ingredients are heated through. *You could also use a panini press or do this sandwich grilled-cheese style. Just butter the outsides of bread or brush with olive oil. If doing in a skillet on the stovetop, I typically cook over med or med-low heat and put a lid over the sandwich so that everything gets heated and melty before the bread over-browns.
  • Note: I used caramelized onions I'd made earlier by very thinly slicing 1/2 of a sweet maui onion and sauteeing in butter til brown, then added 1/8 t kosher salt and black pepper and 1 T brown sugar til glazed.
