Grilled Ham, Gouda and Apple Sandwich
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
4 slices bread
1 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
4-6 thin slices smoked ham
1 small green or red apple, peeled, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
1 c. grated Gouda cheese
Optional additions: arugula or spinach leaves
Preparation:
Butter one side of each bread slice. Spread unbuttered side of 2 bread slices with mayonnaise and mustard; divide and top with ham, apples and cheese. (Add arugula or spinach, if desired.) Top with the other 2 slices of bread, buttered side up. Set a large, non-stick skillet over medium low to medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted and bread is nicely toasted. Slice sandwiches in half or quarters and serve.
