• 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.
• Place 4 remaining bread slices over cheese.
• Spritz both sides of sandwich with nonstick cooking spray and cook in nonstick skillet over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until cheese has melted, turning halfway through.

CAMEMBERT-APPLE GRILLED CHEESE WITH SALTED CARAMEL

Steps:

• Combine the caramel sauce, thyme sprigs and 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until hot, about 1 minute. Cover and keep warm.
• Cut the baguette into 4 long, angled slices. Divide half of the cheese among 2 bread slices; sprinkle with half of the chives. Top with the apple slices and the remaining cheese, chives and 2 bread slices.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
• Remove the thyme from the caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with the sandwiches for dipping.
