Toasted Ham and Cheese Supreme

Submitted by Crafty Lady 13

"A step up from the usual grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, these are made with ham, cheddar cheese, red onion, horseradish sauce and mayonnaise. You can serve these flavorful sandwiches by themselves for lunch, or a simple dinner. For a heartier meal, serve them with steaming bowls of soup, stew or chili."

Absolutely delicious! I used slices of french bread and next time will try sour dough slices. The cheese of choice this time was Muenster but next time will try Provolone. The red onion and horseradish made the sandwich. It had just the right amount of zing to it. Yum! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

This recipe takes a regular grilled ham and cheese and makes it sing. Loved the zippy addition of the horseradish sauce and the red onion. I just can't see going back to the old H&C after eating this so I guess I'm spoiled for life. Made for Spring 2014 Pick A Chef.

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #65* YUMMM-- comfort food and happy memories all rolled into one ! Was my absolute favorite lunch when I could walk home in elementary school ! Mom put fresh horseradish on, but the onion was new. I only made one each, for DH and me, -- good thing -- I could have eaten another whole one ! So good ! Thanks for posting, Crafty Lady !!

This was fabuous - DH was jealous as I made him something else for this weekend's lunch, and he loved the look of this. I did not share ! The onion and horseradish add just the right amount of "bite" to the sammy - I used gluten free bread and provolone cheese as it's my preference. Nice variation of a long-time family favorite. Thanks for posting - made for Spring PAC 2012.

Wow, what a great grilled cheese sandwich this was. Perfect comfort food, ooey gooey and full of flavor. I loved the addition of the horseradish and onion. I used a sweet onion, it was what I had on hand, it worked perfectly in this recipe. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will make often, Crafty Lady.
