Ham Cheese Plantain Sandwich Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE ROLLED SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Using a rolling pin, flatten out the bread slices. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese and a slice of ham. Roll like a mini taco or cigar.
• Melt the butter in a medium saute pan on medium-high heat. Add the rolled sandwiches and cook until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Serve or wrap in aluminum foil and pack in lunchboxes.

HAM & CHEESE PLANTAIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium skillet. Add plantains; cook 3 min. on each side or until lightly browned on both sides. Remove plantains from skillet, reserving oil in skillet. Drain plantains; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. Return to skillet; cook 1 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Drain.
• Mix sour cream and garlic; spread onto cut sides of plantains. Fill 4 plantains with remaining ingredients. Top with remaining plantains.

CUBAN SANDWICH WITH PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• For the sandwich: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Have the pork at room temperature. Season it with salt and pepper. Put the roast into a baking pan and roast until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Cover the pork with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. If not using right away, the roast can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days. When you are ready to make the sandwich, thinly slice about three-quarters of the pork roast (reserve the remaining one-quarter for Round 2 Recipe Black Bean and Pork Stew).
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of mustard on both sides of the bread pieces. Place 2 slices ham on the bottom half of each. Top with the sliced pork roast, then the pickles, and then the Swiss cheese. Place the top half of the baguette on top. Brush the grill with canola oil and place the sandwiches, cheese side down, onto the grill. Set a baking sheet on top of the sandwich and weigh it down with a heavy skillet or pot. Cook until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is starting to melt, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich over, replace the baking sheet and weight, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the plantain chips: In a 2-inch deep cast iron skillet, heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the plantains by slicing off about 1-inch from the top and bottom of each. With a paring knife, make a slice on each side the length of the plantain, making sure to go just deep enough to cut through the skin but not cut into the flesh. Peel the skin off to expose the flesh. If you have trouble peeling the skin then cut it off in strips with the knife. Cut each plantain in half and, using the slicing side of a box grater, slice the halves into thin chips.
• Cook the plantain slices in batches until they crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on brown paper or paper towels and season with salt.

HAM AND DOUBLE CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat cream cheese, chilies and soup mix until smooth. Add cheese and nuts if desired; mix well. Evenly spread on four slices of bread; layer each with four slices of ham and one lettuce leaf. Top with remaining bread.

HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Slice loaf into 16 equal slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaf.
• In a small bowl, combine butter, mustard and horseradish.
• Spread every other slice of the bread with this mixture, beginning with first slice, so the coated slices are facing each other. Imagine cutting the loaf to make sandwiches, and that will help you figure out which sides of the bread slices to coat.
• Fill the coated slices with one slice of ham, one slice of cheese and green pepper rings. Wrap well in plastic wrap and chill. To serve, cut between unfilled slices to form sandwiches.

HOT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine butter, mustard, onions, poppy seeds and dill seed. Spread insides of buns with this mixture. Place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham inside each bun.
• Wrap buns in foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese has melted.

OVEN HOT HAM & CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine dressing ingredients and spread on top and/or bottom of buns, spooning over tops as well, if you like.
• Add ham.
• Add cheese.
• Wrap each sandwich in a square foil.
• Bake on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until dressing is melted and buns are slightly crusty or cook in crock pot 4 hours on low.
• Can keep in fridge until ready to bake.

HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread a dab of mayonnaise on one side of each of the bread slices. Top half the slices with a layer each of ham, cheese, and a few lettuce leaves; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half. Stack several, and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

HAM-AND-CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat; add shallots. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add thyme and continue cooking until onions are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on one side of a slice of bread. Top with a slice of cheese, 2 ounces ham, 1/4 of the shallot mixture, and another slice of cheese. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on a second slice of bread and place mustard side down on top of cheese to form a sandwich. Repeat process three times with remaining mustard, bread, cheese, ham, and shallots.
• Brush top and bottom of each sandwich with olive oil. Place in a panini grill and press until bread is crisp and brown, and cheese has melted slightly, 9 to 10 minutes. If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat. Place a heavy pan on top of sandwiches and press down. Cook, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
