Ham Cheese Plantain Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• To assemble the sandwiches, butter both sides of each bread slice. Lay ham and cheese on one slice and cover with the another slice. Trim the crusts off the sides.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat, then fry the sandwiches until the cheese starts to melt and the sandwiches are golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to add more butter to the pan.
• Remove the sandwiches to paper towels to drain, let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into quarters diagonally and serve 3 quarters each per serving.

HAM & CHEESE PLANTAIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium skillet. Add plantains; cook 3 min. on each side or until lightly browned on both sides. Remove plantains from skillet, reserving oil in skillet. Drain plantains; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. Return to skillet; cook 1 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Drain.
• Mix sour cream and garlic; spread onto cut sides of plantains. Fill 4 plantains with remaining ingredients. Top with remaining plantains.

CUBAN MIDNIGHT SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Italian dressing. Spread mixture on hoagie rolls. Spread each roll with mustard. On each roll, arrange layers of turkey, ham, and cheese. Top each with dill pickle slices. Close sandwiches, and brush tops and bottoms with olive oil.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Place sandwiches in skillet. Cook sandwiches for 2 minutes, pressing down with a plate covered with aluminum foil. Flip, and cook for 2 more minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from heat, place on plates, and cut in half diagonally.

HAM AND CHEESE SCONE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk together. In the bowl with the Roasted Garlic, add the sour cream and egg. Whisk together and set aside.
• Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it forms pea-size bits. Toss in the chives. Add the sour cream mixture and mix just until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a liberally floured counter and press together to form a 6-by-6-inch square. Trim each side (keep the trimmings and bake off for a little snack) and cut into 9 squares. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream, sprinkle with flaky salt and bake until lightly browned and crackly on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: Split open the scones and toast the insides on a griddle or pan. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the apricot jam on each of the toasted sides. On the bottom halves, layer on the ham, cheese and then the tops of the scones and eat right away.
• The scones will keep for a couple days in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature. Toast and spread with butter or jam.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Slice off the top of the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast for about an hour. Remove from the oven and allow the garlic to cool inside the foil. When cool, open the foil and squeeze the roasted garlic from each clove into a small bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine butter, mustard, onions, poppy seeds and dill seed. Spread insides of buns with this mixture. Place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham inside each bun.
• Wrap buns in foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese has melted.
