Ingredients
1 pkg Schneiders® Smoked Black Forest Ham
170 g Tre Stelle® deluxe Mozzarella, thinly sliced
8 slices brioche bread
½ cup caramelized onions
1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp crème fraiche
1 tbsp chives, finely sliced
¼ cup room temperature unsalted butter
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, crème fraiche and chives.
Lay brioche slices out and spread the mustard mixture onto one side of each slice.
Divide the ham and place onto half of the brioche slices, followed by caramelized onions and a thin layer of mozzarella cheese. Top sandwiches with a second slice of brioche.
Lightly butter both sides of sandwiches, then preheat a heavy bottom pan on medium-low heat.
One at a time, gently place each sandwich into the pan and cook until the brioche is golden, approx. 2 minutes. Flip sandwich and fry the other side until the cheese has melted and the brioche is golden and crispy.
Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Tips (not mandatory): Serve with Summer Fresh® Original Hummus and your choice of fresh or seasonal vegetables.
These sandwiches don’t need much time in the pan before becoming perfectly golden, so keep an eye on your heat!
