Whether celebrating a holiday or just another Saturday night, a meal with my chef father-in-law always means leftovers. I love it, don't get me wrong! It's just a matter of coming up with ways to use them all. The beautiful thing about his Easter meal is that everything is so simply prepared. A beautiful roasted ham (locally sourced from a Maryland farm just down the street from their house), lightly dressed green vegetables and a crisp white wine; it's a blissful welcome to spring. Making great use of what was already in-house, I whipped up an amazing dinner that really captured the bright flavors of the previous night's meal. I dressed up a vegetable medley with simple lemon-dill vinaigrette while my favorite sandwich secret weapon - red pepper jelly - worked its magic on a grilled ham and Gouda sandwich.

Steps:
- Place a large skillet or griddle pan over low heat. Lay out the slices of bread on a work surface and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each one. Flip each slice over and spread a thin layer of red pepper jelly over each one. Build the sandwiches by dividing the ham and Gouda among four of the slices and closing them so that the mayonnaise is on the outside.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown and heated through.
- While the sandwiches are toasting, in a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, preserves, dill, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Toss the green vegetables with the dressing and reserve. Cut the sandwiches on a bias and serve warm along with the vegetable salad.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sandwich didn't turn out very well. The ham and gouda were not melted properly and the leftover Easter veggies were mushy. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This sandwich was okay. The ham and gouda were melted nicely, but the leftover Easter veggies were a bit bland. I think I would prefer this sandwich with a different kind of cheese.

[email protected]This sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste. The ham and gouda were melted nicely, but the leftover Easter veggies were a bit too soggy. I think I would prefer this sandwich with fresh veggies instead.
