Carolina Ham & Cheese Melt
"These delicious sandwiches make a simple lunch special or a quick dinner seem not so rushed. Perfect for leftover holiday ham and turkey; or you can use deli sliced ham. This recipe was inspired by a beautiful cool spring evening and left over Easter ham. Our 4 year old loved his - I used a mayo and mustard combo for his. Goes well with a fresh garden salad, oven fries and a nice bottle of California White Bordeaux."

These were pretty good. The only thing I'd suggest is flipping the sandwiches halfway through if you use french or sourdough bread for a more even browning on both sides. Thanks! -
So good! These are really great sandwiches. Like the others, I also skipped the horseradish- too strong a taste for me =) THANKS for posting! -
These were so good! Reminded me a lot of an Arby's sandwich (a guilty pleasure for me). We only used the dijon & butter on the rolls. Made extra for lunch the next day - great idea!!! Perfect "rescue" dinner for a busy night! -
Excellent sandwich! I used swiss cheese and skipped the horseradish due to personal preference. Other than that, made exactly as is and it was delicious! -
Quick, easy, and delicious! Keeper!

I love Zaar! I have so many wonderful friends here and I really enjoy being a Forum Host. I love the games in the Contest & Events Forum! The games are addictive and a great opportunity to meet the members of this community. I had a blast co-hosting the first Zaar World Tour 2005 with ~Leslie~. Zaar World Tour II doubled in size and ~Leslie~ and I were joined with co-hosts Mama�s Kitchen and kzbhansen. Zaar World Tour 3 doubled again in size and Leslie, Mama's Kitchen and I were joined with SusieD, PanNan and JustCallMeToni! We also established the "Whine and Cheese Gang" which was a wonderful team that was put together to help all the teams playing. Zaar World Tour IV will be bigger and even better!!!

I try to cook using only organic ingredients and fresh organic produce. Of course this is not always possible... but I do make the effort.
I love experimenting with new cuisines and love fusion! I like most foods and most cuisines... Spices and Sauces are my forte! I am most known for cooking with all kinds of wine and liquor. I am always on the hunt for the perfect blend of flavors.... the dish whose first bite makes you put your fork down and relish the mouthful.
Sushi, Spicy Foods, Mussels, Shrimp, Lobster, Stone Crabs, Artichokes, Traditional Thai Food, Middle Eastern, Moroccan, French, Mexican, Indian, Asian, Turkish, and the list goes on and on.....
