WAFFLES WITH FRIZZLED HAM AND MAPLE-MUSTARD CREAM

Steps:

• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham; sauté until ham is heated through and ends are curled, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream, syrup, and mustard. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and coats ham, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup onions.
• Top toasted waffles with ham mixture. Sprinkle with remaining onions.

BLACK FOREST HAM ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients until blended. Stir in cranberries and green onions; spread over tortillas. Layer with ham and cheese. Roll up tightly; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour., Just before serving, unwrap and cut each tortilla crosswise into 16 slices.

BLACK FOREST HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cherries, mustard, green onion, and mayonnaise; season with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of pepper.
• If using diced ham steak, stir it into the sandwich spread to coat.
• If using sliced deli ham, do nothing.
• To assemble: Place mixture on a slice of bread, top with arugula and close bread (ham steak).
• For sliced deli ham: Spread mixture on two slices of bread, layer in ham, and a handful of arugula; close sandwich.

GRILLED CHEESE AND BLACK FOREST HAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, mustard, tarragon, and pepper.
• Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, making sure that both sides are thoroughly coated.
• Put dipped slices on a plate and set aside.
• In two large sauté pans, melt one tablespoon butter in each over medium-high heat.
• Add four bread slices to each pan.
• Cook until the undersides are dark golden brown, about four minutes.
• Turn slices and place four slices of cheese and one slice of ham on each of the four slices of bread.
• (You may need to fold the ham slices in half to fit the bread.) Cover with the other four bread slices, placing the cooked side down over the cheese and ham.
• (You will now be using only one pan.) Cover the pan and cook for two to three minutes or until the bottom sides of the bread are browned.
• Using a spatula, turn the sandwiches, press to flatten slightly, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
• Cut in half and serve immediately.
• If desired, serve a little extra Dijon-style mustard on the side.
