Categories     Sandwich     Mushroom     Broil     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Ham     Winter     Swiss Cheese     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices of rye bread, toasted
2 thin slices of cooked ham
2 thin slices of Swiss cheese
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the mustard, the dill, and salt and pepper to taste. In a skillet cook the mushrooms in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated, and remove the skillet from the heat. On a baking sheet spread one side of each slice of toast with half the mayonnaise mixture, top each toast with a slice of the ham, half the mushrooms, a slice of the Swiss cheese, half the onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and broil the sandwiches under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned lightly.

HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)



Ham, Cheddar, and Apple Butter Open-Faced Sandwiches (Or Pizza) image

This is published in the October 2004 Bon Appetit as open-faced sandwiches, but I make this as a 12-inch pizza (a big, round, open-faced sandwich?). I wasn't sure whether we would like the sweetness of the apple butter, but there is enough savory/salty flavor in the rest of the recipe that it works well (I probably used more Dijon, though, and less apple butter, than called for in the recipe). In pizza format, it is good with some sauteed onion and some very well wrung out thawed frozen spinach added. I think this is a recipe that depends a lot on the types of ingredients used; since it has the apple butter, sweeter mustards and milder cheeses would probably not be as good. The relative proportions of Dijon and apple butter (and meat and cheese) can be adjusted for personal taste.

Time 20m

Yield 6 sandwich halves, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally (or 6 slices country-style bread)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple butter
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 lbs black forest ham, thinly sliced (I ended up with smoked turkey, and used less than half this amount)
12 ounces white cheddar cheese, extra sharp, sliced (can use non-white and adjust amount to taste)
1 bunch chives, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
  • Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
  • Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
  • Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
  • Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
  • Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your open-faced ham sandwiches. Use fresh, flavorful bread, thinly sliced ham, and ripe, juicy tomatoes.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is what makes these sandwiches so rich and delicious. Use real, unsalted butter and spread it liberally on the bread.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the other ingredients and give it a nice, crispy texture.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. In addition to ham, tomatoes, and cheese, you can also add things like avocado, bacon, eggs, or even fruit.
  • Serve immediately: Open-faced ham sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. So, make sure to serve them immediately after they're made.

Conclusion:

Open-faced ham sandwiches are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So, next time you're looking for a quick and delicious meal, give these sandwiches a try.
