HONEY DIJON GRILLED HAM ‘N CHEESE
Walt would make these sandwiches for us when we first started dating. It was one of the first dishes he ever cooked for me and I loved it. The simplicity of a Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwich with a little honey and dijon mustard is delicious. Pair it with any of the soups from this week and what a great dinner!
And I like to use the thinly sliced Italian Bread from Publix's bakery. So, this recipe makes a large sandwich.
Makes 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
8 slices of Publix Italian White Bread (or your preferred sandwich bread)
16 teaspoons mayonnaise, divided
8 teaspoons dijon mustard, divided
8 teaspoons honey, divided
12 slices ham, sandwich thickness, divided
12 slices swiss cheese, sandwich thickness, divided
Directions
Assemble the sandwiches by first spreading 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on each piece of bread. Then follow by spreading the mustard and honey on the bread.
Top 4 slices of bread with 3 pieces of ham on each. Make sure to cover the bread. Then top with 3 pieces of cheese covering the ham. Top with a piece of bread with the non mayo side facing up.
Place 1 teaspoon of mayo on the top of each sandwich.
In a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, place the sandwiches mayo side down in the griddle to begin cooking.
While the mayo side of each sandwich is grilling, place 1 teaspoon of mayo on the last uncovered side. Grill on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve immediately.
Y'all, today I cooked breakfast for Ford before he left for the State Shotgun competition at Forest City Gun Club. And let me tell you, over medium eggs have taken practice for me to perfect! And today I did it!
Over Medium Eggs
Makes one serving, multiply as needed
Ingredients
3 eggs, cracked
2 tablespoons ghee
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Melt the ghee in a large non stick skillet over medium heat.
Crack your eggs in a bowl one at a time and pour the eggs into the skillet one at a time.
Once all the eggs are in the skillet let them cook for 2 minutes or until the whites just begin to set.
Once set, flip the eggs over with a spatial and let cook for 2 more minutes.

Pick up the eggs gently with a spatula and serve immediately.
