Baked Ham And Cheese Sandwiches
Melted at the perfection under the broiler this quick dish is easy to put together and makes an unexpected dinner the whole family will enjoy.
- 12 slice white sandwich bread
- 3 slices of ham, cut in half
- 3/4 cup (20cl) of heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups (150g) grated Gruyere cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, salt
- A finely chopped shallot (or 1 tablespoon of fine dried shallot soup)
- Oregano
- A large log of goat cheese, about 6 oz (170g)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C).
- 2. Make 6 slices of goat cheese and keep aside.
- 3. In a bowl, combine heavy cream and grated Gruyere. Add the minced shallot, season to taste, and mix.
- 4. Coat a first bread slice with this mixture, then place a half slice of ham on top, then a dollop of the cream preparation in the cente,r and top with the last slice of bread.
- 5. Spread the remaining shallot cream on top of the bread. Place a slice of goat cheese on top and sprinkle with oregano. Repeat the same process for the other sandwiches, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 6. Bake in the oven at 390°F (200°C) until browned on top, about 15/20 minutes. At the end of cooking, you can turn on the broiler and broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve hot with a green salad.
Recipe Notes
- Try making these with slices of Challah bread instead of white bread; its sweet note complements goat cheese perfectly.
