GROWN UP HAM AND CHEESE FINGER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring water, vinegar and brown sugar to a boil. Add the onions and remove from the heat. Cover, and set aside until the onions come to room temperature.
• Trim the crusts off the bread and cut the bread into thirds, for 3 rectangles per piece. Lightly brush both sides of the bread pieces with olive oil and lay out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until just crisp and lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Cool.
• To assemble: Quarter, core, and very thinly slice the apple, (a mandolin is terrific for this). Very thinly slice the cheese into triangles or shards that will fit nicely on the bread.
• Place a dab or smear of mustard on the bread. Place a piece of apple, cheese and 1 or 2 sprigs of watercress on each piece of toasted bread. Wrap a small piece of prosciutto around each stack to make a neat package. Top with a little bit of the pickled onions, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve at room temperature.

CHRISTY'S AWESOME HOT HAM AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Spread one side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon butter. Place one slice, butter-side down in the hot skillet. Top with Swiss cheese and ham. Spread the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread with mayonnaise and mustard; place it, butter-side up on top of the sandwich. Cook until the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

BAKED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut aluminum foil into pieces large enough to hold each sandwich.
• Whisk or beat the butter with the mayonnaise, mustard, onion powder and poppy seeds.
• Spread sauce on both sides of each bun, if desired, sauce quantity may be doubled, and more can be used, although not all of it will be required.
• Place ham slices on the bottom side of each bun. Put cheese slices evenly on top of ham.
• Replace bun tops, wrap in foil.
• Bake sandwiches, on a sheet tray, for up to 25 minutes, unwrap and serve.
• If desired, buns may be frozen thoroughly, and baked at 350 for 1 hour, up to 1 month later.

SASSY HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, chives and thyme. Mix until well combined and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, onions, Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside in a warm spot to keep the butter from solidifying.
• Cut all 12 rolls in half. Place the roll bottoms in a 9- by 13-inch pan. Place equal amounts of ham (about 3 slices) on each roll. Top with the gruyere. Spread a generous amount of the chive and cream cheese on the roll tops. Place the tops on top of each sandwich bottom.
• Pour the butter mixture over the top of the sandwiches. Cover with foil and bake until the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes to toast the buns.

HAM-AND-CHEESE WAFFLEWICHES WITH KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the kale chips: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Cut off the tough stems of the kale, then cut the leaves into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Toss the kale on a baking sheet with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; spread in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and bake, flipping halfway through, until crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sandwiches: Combine the apple and honey mustard in a medium bowl. Spread evenly onto 4 frozen waffles and top with the ham and cheese. Cover with the remaining waffles to make 4 sandwiches.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the waffle sandwiches and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons butter when you flip. Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwiches in half. Serve with the kale chips.

BAKED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place two 2-foot-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
• Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the foil with a pastry brush and then pour in the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and return to the oven. Bake until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Cut or pull the rolls apart. Serve with hot sauce.

HAM AND CHEESE CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the potatoes, 1/4 cup flour, cheese, and ham with a large rubber spatula until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Rub your hands with a small amount of flour and form the portions into small flat disks about 1/2-inch thick. Use just enough flour to keep the potatoes from sticking to your hands, but do not coat them completely.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Shallow-fry the croquettes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Let the croquettes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
• Cook's Note: This recipe doubles easily if you have enough leftover potatoes.

HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on sliced white bread. Sandwich with sliced ham, Swiss cheese and pickles. Trim the crusts and cut into quarters. Thread a quarter onto each skewer; toast over a flame until the cheese melts.

HAM & CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the gammon, skin-side up, in a deep roasting tin, then pour over 1 litre water. Scatter over the peppercorns, onion, carrots and bay leaves, then cover tightly with foil and roast for 2 hrs.
• While the ham is in the oven, cook the cauliflower in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-4 mins until just cooked, then drain well. Leave to steam-dry in the colander.
• Remove the ham from the oven, take off the foil and set aside on a large dish or board until cool enough to handle. Strain the liquid into a jug and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut away the string and skin to leave a thin, even layer of fat. Use the tip of the knife to score the ham fat into a diamond pattern, if you like.
• To make the cheese sauce for the cauliflower, melt the butter in a shallow saucepan and stir in the flour to make a sandy paste. Slowly pour in 500ml of the reserved ham stock to make a silky sauce, then add the cream. Season with a grating of nutmeg and a grinding pepper, then taste to see if it needs more salt. Bring to a simmer and stir gently for 5 mins, then take off the heat and stir through all the cauliflower and most of the cheese. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hours.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the cauliflower cheese into a large roasting tin and bake for 20 mins until the sauce is bubbling and the cauliflower is tender.
• Heat the grill to medium, and nestle the ham, fat-side up, in the middle of the cauliflower cheese. To glaze, brush the ham fat with the mustard, then scatter over the sugar (don't worry if some goes on the cauliflower). Scatter over the remaining cheese (avoid getting any on the ham) and grill for 10-15 mins until the ham is glossy and browned and the cauliflower cheese is bubbling and golden. Leave to rest for 5 mins before serving.

BAKED HAM AND CHEESE PARTY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix together butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and dried onion. Separate the tops from bottoms of the rolls, and place the bottom pieces into the prepared baking dish. Layer about half the ham onto the rolls. Arrange the Swiss cheese over the ham, and top with remaining ham slices in a layer. Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches. Pour the mustard mixture evenly over the rolls.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Slice into individual rolls through the ham and cheese layers to serve.

HAM & CHEESE CROQUETAS

Steps:

• To make the croquetas, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and gently fry the onion for 3 mins or until lightly coloured. Stir in the flour and cook for 30 secs. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, and cook over a low heat for 5 mins until thick and glossy. Stir in the ham, cheese, mustard and cream, and season to taste. Cook for 1 min more until the cheese melts, stirring constantly.
• Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film to stop a skin forming. Leave to cool, then chill for 4 hrs or overnight - the mixture needs to be very stiff to form the croquetas. Take heaped teaspoons of the mixture and, with wet hands, roll into 24 small oval shapes and put on a tray. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, put the flour on a plate and half of the breadcrumbs in a bowl.
• Roll each of the croquetas lightly in flour, then in egg before coating in breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Use the remaining breadcrumbs to top up the bowl halfway through the coating process. Chill for 30 mins (or to freeze, see tip, below left).
• Meanwhile, make the tomato chilli jam. Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover loosely with a lit and cook for 50 mins - 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy. Leave to cool before serving.
• Fill a large saucepan one-third full with the sunflower oil and heat to 180C (or heat the oil in an electric deep-fat fryer). Do not overheat and do not leave hot oil unattended. Using a metal slotted spoon, lower 6 croquets into the oil and cook for 1.5 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil, and continue cooking the rest. Serve with the chilli jam for dipping.

HAM, CHEESE & HOMEMADE PICKLE BLOOMER

Steps:

• Finely slice the red onion and radishes and put in a small bowl with the red wine vinegar and caster sugar and leave to lightly pickle for 20 mins. Mix the mayo with the mustard and spread onto the white bread. Top two slices with the smoked ham, parsley and cheddar. Drain the onions and radishes and lay on top. Close and halve to serve.
