HAM & CHEESE BAGUETTE TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk first 5 ingredients together in a shallow bowl; dip bread into egg mixture to soak well.
• Melt half the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat; fry half of the bread, turning once, until puffed & golden, about 5 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining butter & bread; arrange on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Divide ham over bread & top with cheese; broil until bubbly & melted, about 2 minutes.

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.

HAM, CHEESE AND HERB BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Place the yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the warm water and honey and set aside in a warm spot for about 10 minutes, or until the yeast is dissolved and begins bubbling. (If the yeast does not bubble it is probably dead. Begin again, using fresh yeast.) Gradually sift the flour and salt into the yeast mixture, stirring constantly until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Sprinkle some flour over a working surface and gently knead the dough for several minutes. Cut the dough in half and roll out one half into a rectangle (like a rectangular pizza) about 14 inches by 10 inches. Brush the dough with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Scatter half the ham over the surface, pressing it gently into the dough. Sprinkle half the cheese on top and scatter half the herbs and a generous grinding of fresh black pepper over the dough. Using your hands, gently roll the dough lengthwise, into the shape of a long cigar. Lightly seal the edges of the dough. Place in a well greased French bread pan (or on a well-greased cookie sheet) and cover with a clean tea towel.
• Make the second loaf.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the two loaves of bread in a dry warm spot and let them sit, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Just before baking, lightly brush the loaves with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the middle shelf of the hot oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread has a golden brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

HAM & CHEESE BAKE

Steps:

• Grease the bottom of a deep 20 x 30cm baking dish with a little butter. Tear or cut the baguette into bite-size pieces, then arrange over the bottom of the dish. Tuck the ham pieces and grated cheese between the gaps. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and mustard and pour over the bread. Cover and chill for at least 3 hrs or preferably overnight.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Bake for 40-45 mins until the top is crisp and golden and the egg mixture is cooked through. If the topping browns a little too quickly, cover with foil for the remainder of the cooking time. Serve immediately.

MARMALADE HAM, CHEESE, AND ARUGULA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the baguette down the middle lengthways, leaving one edge still attached so you can open it like a hinge. Butter the top and bottom of the soft bread inside, then spread mustard on the top half and marmalade on the bottom half. Fold the ham and push in, then top with the cheese and arugula. Season and close the sandwich, gently squeezing it together as you slice it in half.

HAM & SWISS MELTS

Steps:

• Cut baguette in half without slicing through completely. Arrange half of the cheese on bottom half. Top with pickles, ham and remaining cheese; sprinkle with paprika. Close sandwich; cut crosswise into four pieces., Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
