Grilled Ham And Le Gruyère Recipes

GRILLED HAM AND LE GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Brush bread on both sides with butter, then layer a slice of Le Gruyère and a slice of ham between each pair of bread slices.
• Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook, covered, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Flip sandwiches and continue to cook until they are browned on the other side and the cheese is thoroughly melted and beginning to ooze out of the bread, 3 or 4 minutes more.

GRILLED HAM AND GRUYERE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread one side of each bread slice with the butter.
• On a clean work surface, place 4 slices buttered-side down.
• Divide the cheese and ham among those 4 slices.
• Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered-side up.
• Heat a grill pan or a 12-inch skillet with a lid over medium heat until warm. Place the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cook, covered, 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cheese melts and bread is golden brown.
• Cut each sandwich in half; slide in 1 or 2 tomato slices and serve hot.

GRILLED HAM, CHICKEN, AND GRUYERE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Split each chicken breast in half lengthwise to form 2 cutlets. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with pepper. Add the chicken to the pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.
• Remove the chicken from the pan. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around each chicken cutlet.
• Return the pan to medium heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Spread one side of each bread slice evenly with 1/2 tsp butter. Place 4 bread slices, buttered side down, in the pan. Top each bread slice in the pan with 2 tbsp cheese; toast the bread for 2 minutes or until the underside is toasted and the cheese melts. Remove the bread from the pan. Recoat the pan with cooking spray. Place the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered side down, in the pan. Toast 2 minutes or until toasted. Remove from the pan.
• Top each cheese-topped bread slice with 1 chicken cutlet. Spread 1 1/2 tsp mustard over the untoasted side of each remaining bread slice.
• Combine arugula, shallots, and juice in a bowl; toss. Divide the mixture evenly among the sandwiches; top each sandwich with 1 bread slice, mustard side down.

HAM, GRUYERE AND APPLE PANINI

Steps:

• In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly soft, about 4 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
• Preheat a panini press. Spread each bread slice with 1 tablespoon mustard. Arrange 1/4 cup of cheese on each of 4 bread slices and top with 2 slices of ham. Divide the apple mixture evenly on top of the ham. Add the remaining cheese and cover with the remaining 4 bread slices. Grill in the panini press until the cheese has melted and the tops are golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.

MINI GRILLED GRUYERE AND HAM SAMMIES WITH CORNICHONS

Steps:

• In a food processor, finely chop 2 cups cornichons until they are a coarse paste.
• Spread one side of each piece of bread with Dijon. Top each piece of bread with a slice of Gruyere. Place the ham on half of the pieces of the bread and cheese. Spread the cornichon paste on the other half of the pieces of bread and cheese.
• Preheat a griddle or saute pan.
• Close the sandwiches and press to secure. Butter the outsides of all the pieces of bread.
• Place the sandwiches on the griddle or pan and cook until the bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turnover and repeat this process.
• When the sammies are golden brown and crisp on each side, remove them from the griddle and neatly cut the crusts off the bread. Cut each crustless sandwich into 8 neat mini sammies.
• Top each mini sammie with a cornichon half and secure it with a toothpick.

GRILLED HAM, CHEESE AND PICKLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Smear both sides of bread slices with mayonnaise. Combine cheeses in a bowl. Sprinkle 4 slices bread with half of cheese mixture, dividing equally. Top each with 3-4 pickles. Divide prosciutto among sandwiches; top with remaining cheese. Cover with remaining bread.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 large heavy skillets over medium-low heat. Add 2 sandwiches to each skillet and cook until bread is golden, 9-10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoons butter to each skillet, flip sandwiches, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 9-10 minutes longer.
