Grilled Hammy Sammy Recipes

MINI GRILLED GRUYERE AND HAM SAMMIES WITH CORNICHONS

Steps:

• In a food processor, finely chop 2 cups cornichons until they are a coarse paste.
• Spread one side of each piece of bread with Dijon. Top each piece of bread with a slice of Gruyere. Place the ham on half of the pieces of the bread and cheese. Spread the cornichon paste on the other half of the pieces of bread and cheese.
• Preheat a griddle or saute pan.
• Close the sandwiches and press to secure. Butter the outsides of all the pieces of bread.
• Place the sandwiches on the griddle or pan and cook until the bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turnover and repeat this process.
• When the sammies are golden brown and crisp on each side, remove them from the griddle and neatly cut the crusts off the bread. Cut each crustless sandwich into 8 neat mini sammies.
• Top each mini sammie with a cornichon half and secure it with a toothpick.

The Dijon bechamel sauce will help hold the meat and cheese in place. Make slices of ham and cheese rest flat; do not pile the meat or cheese. Butter the tops of the 4 sandwiches and set onto griddle or grill, buttered side down. Butter opposite side of each sandwich while the first side is grilling. Toast sandwiches 4 minutes on each side, turn with thin spatula. Serve with cornichons, pickled onions and extra Dijon mustard to pass at table.
