Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6

Ingredients

3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, or 6 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple butter
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 pounds Black Forest ham, thinly sliced
12 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped

Preparation

  1. Brush cut side of ciabatta rolls with oil. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. Top with ham, then cheese. Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
