What a yummy sandwich. This was made using a whole grain, gluten free bread. The combination of flavors is wonderful.

Ohhhh, this is good. I left off the onion for reasons of texture, but did use a bit of mayo. I used Recipe #268327 for the horseradish sauce. It was shockingly delicious! This goes right into the rotation. Thanks for posting!

Horseradish for years on roast beef but I never would have thought to use horseradish on grilled ham and am very glad you did. I made one slight change in that I left off the mayonnaise. This is a great quick sandwich that I will be making again. Thanks for the post.

Well, I've made grilled ham and cheese many times, but never thought of adding onion - inspired. I used a horseradish cream and ghee instead of butter - easier to spread. This is great with a hearty soup for supper.
