Open Face Ham Cheddar And Apple Butter Sandwiches Recipes

HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)

Steps:

• Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
• Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
• Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
• Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
• Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
• Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.

OPEN FACED HAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese and butter; stir until smooth.
• Stir in cheese, paprika, oregano, and garlic.
• Spread 2/3 mixture on muffin halves.
• Top with ham (cut or folded to fit muffin) and slice of tomato.
• Spoon remaining cheese mixture on the center of each tomato slice.
• Place on baking shet and broil until golden brown.
• Garnish with parsley.

CHEDDAR - APPLE & HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard and honey; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Layer cheese on 4 bread slices; top each with 2 slices of ham, apple slices and remaining bread.
• Cut sandwiches in half. Use any apple slices left to garnish.
• (If to be used in a lunch box, add apple slices to mayonnaise mixture and coat so that they won't turn brown. If needed use a little butter or margarine on bread slices.).
