• Add onion, sugar and salt to skillet; cover.
• Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until lightly browned; remove from heat.
• Stir together mustard, horseradish and honey; set aside.
• Spread 4 slices of bread evenly with mustard mixture, then layer 3 slices ham over each piece of bread.
• Place about 2 T onions on top of the ham, then place 1 slice cheese on top of the onions.

GRILLED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar and mustard together in a bowl until a paste forms.
• Place ham on a large piece of aluminum foil. Spread brown sugar paste over entire ham. Wrap foil securely around ham, sealing all of the edges together. Place wrapped ham in a disposable pan.
• Grill ham on the preheated grill until heated through, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove ham from grill and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED HAM AND SWISS SANDWICH WITH GRILLED ONIONS ON TOAST

Steps:

• First, grill your onions to your liking in a pan with a small amount of oil. Put aside.
• Wash lettuce and have your sandwich fillings ready for assembly.
• On a hot plate, skillet, etc., place one slice of ham down, followed by swiss cheese, then the other slice of ham (if you use the long slices of ham, they will wrap around the cheese quite nicely). The cheese should be as protected from the pan as much as possible. You want to heat on a medium/high heat and flip this after a minute or two so the top side gets a turn down on the pan. But don't cook this too long as it will make the meat tough and the cheese will melt and leak out all over the place. Just heat until meat is slightly brown on top and bottom and the cheese has mostly melted.
• While meat and cheese are cooking, place 2 slices of bread in toaster. When done, add mayo and/or mustard to toast and place ham/cheese on bottom slice of toast. Top with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add top piece of toast, slice sandwich on the diagonal, throw on a plate with some potato chips and get busy (all the while wondering why you didn't go ahead and make that second one while you were at it!) -- back to the kitchen. These things ARE addictive. You've been warned!

GRILLED HAM, BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bring a deep pan of water to a boil. Peel the onions, add them to the pan, then decrease the heat and let them simmer until they are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. This will only be a matter of twenty to twenty-five minutes or so. Drain them and discard the water (don't try using it in the sauce, the flavor can be too strong).
• Put the pan back on the stove, melt the butter in it, and stir in the flour, keeping the heat low to medium. Let the flour and butter cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often so the mixture doesn't burn, then increase the heat, pour in the stock and milk, and whisk together for a minute until there are no lumps.
• Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, the bay leaves, a gentle grating of nutmeg, and the mustard. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of these seasonings: they add depth and savor to the sauce and make the whole dish "work." Let the sauce simmer gently for a good ten minutes or more, stirring regularly so that it does not catch on the bottom.
• Cut the onions in half from stem to tip-take care, they are slippery-and place them, flat side down, in a shallow baking dish. I use an oval enameled gratin dish. Chop the parsley, but not too finely, and stir it into the sauce, then scoop the lot over the onions. Their caps will probably be poking out, but no matter, just bake for forty to forty-five minutes until the sauce is bubbling.
• Turn off the heat, but leave the onions in the oven while you cook the ham. If your broiler is, like mine, in the oven, then move the onions to the bottom and put the broiler pan two-thirds of the way up, so that it blocks the onions from the broiler (if you prefer, you can cook the ham on a stovetop grill).
• Oil the steaks lightly and season them with pepper, a very little salt, and a light sprinkling of oregano. Now broil them for three or four minutes on each side, until golden. Serve the broiled ham with the baked onions and heir sauce.
