Grilled Cheese And Black Forest Ham Recipes

GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• To assemble the sandwiches, butter both sides of each bread slice. Lay ham and cheese on one slice and cover with the another slice. Trim the crusts off the sides.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat, then fry the sandwiches until the cheese starts to melt and the sandwiches are golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to add more butter to the pan.
• Remove the sandwiches to paper towels to drain, let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into quarters diagonally and serve 3 quarters each per serving.

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.
