Smoky ham, Sargento® Sliced Reduced Fat Provolone Cheese and Asian pear slivers are sandwiched between nutty wholegrain toast. This grilled-cheese is so packed with flavor that it stands on its own but can also be served with just a slight sprinkling of powdered sugar for those with a sweet-tooth.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. thinly sliced green onion
- 2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 12 thin slices deli style Virginia ham (or smoked ham)
- 6 slices Sargento® Sliced Reduced Fat Provolone Cheese
- 4 slices multi-grain bread
- 1 Asian pear, cored and cut into 1/4" slices
- 4 tsp. low-fat mayonnaise or olive oil cooking spray, for grilling
Directions
- In medium bowl, mix cilantro, green onion and hoisin sauce; add sliced ham and gently rub mixture to coat both sides of ham. Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- To assemble each sandwich, spread a very thin coating of mayonnaise, about 1 teaspoon, over 1 slice of bread.
- Place mayonnaise-side down, then top bread with one slice of cheese. Arrange 6 folded pieces of ham, side by side. Spread a layer of sliced pears (about 5 slices) over ham; top with 2 overlapped slices of cheese and a slice of bread.
- Place both prepared sandwiches, mayonnaise-coated side down, in skillet. Weigh down with another smaller cast iron skillet.
- After 35-45 seconds, spread the uncoated side of sandwiches with mayonnaise. Turn sandwiches and cook 30 to 45 seconds, or just until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
