Every now and then I see a recipe that I know isn't healthy for me, but I really can't resist. I was able to convince Brit as well, and the resulting dinner was so worth it. We'll have to run extra hard for the rest of the week to burn off these calories...
Grilled Ham, Cheese, and Pickle Sandwiches
(Originally from Epicurious.com)
4 slices of bread
1/4 cup mayo
Curry powder
Low-fat mozzarella cheese slices (basically, the really tasty, melty cheese singles)
2 oz. goat cheese (we used a garlic and herb chevre that we get from our farmer's market)
Bread and butter pickles
Smoked ham slices (surprisingly, these had less sodium and cholesterol than the smoked turkey)
2 tbsp butter
Brit wanted to do something more interesting with the mayo, so she mixed in a little curry powder. The result was an excellent addition to the sandwich that blended really well with the flavors of the cheese and meat.
Generously spread the mayo on 4 slices of bread. Layer 2 slices with 2 cheese slices each. Cover the cheese with a layer of pickles. Cover the pickles with a few small pieces of goat cheese. Add a slice of ham, some more goat cheese, another slice of ham, and then another layer of cheese singles. Assemble the sandwich and generously butter the both pieces of bread.
Heat up a pan or skillet on medium heat. Spray the pan with non-stick spray and add the sandwich when it is hot. Cook until the bottom is nicely browned and flip. Cook some more until the bottom is browned and the cheese is melty. Serve hot with a bowl of tomato soup.
