These delicious grilled sandwiches can also be made on baguettes, Italian bread or even sliced white or whole breads. This recipe uses ciabatta rolls from your favorite bakery.
Ingredients
- Ciabatta Rolls
- ½ cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ tsp Crushed Black Pepper
- Black Forest Ham (2-3 slices per sandwich is plenty)
- Sliced Emmental Swiss Cheese (or any melting cheese you prefer)
- ¼ stick Melted Butter
Instructions
- Mix together Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Onion Powder and Black Pepper. Spread mixture on insides of bread.
- Fill sandwiches with 2-3 slices of Black Forest Ham, Sliced Emmental Swiss Cheese (or any melting cheese you prefer).
- Close sandwich and brush outside of sandwiches or loaf with Melted Butter.
- Place on hot grill or grill pan press/weigh with a heavy griddle press or be creative and make a press with a smaller heavier fry pan such as a cast iron skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden and turn over and cook on the other side. If you are using sliced white or whole wheat a grill press is not necessary.
Notes
Omit the ham for your vegetarians and replace cheese with a good vegan Swiss cheese for your vegan guests and of course for them use vegenaise in place of regular mayo in the spread.
