Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich With Grilled Onions on Toast

This is a favorite I made up while working in my family's restaurant in New Orleans. I got tired of the same ole' stuff on the menu so had fun with making this. I even served it to my favorite customers if they asked real nice!

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    First, grill your onions to your liking in a pan with a small amount of oil. Put aside.
  2. 2
    Wash lettuce and have your sandwich fillings ready for assembly.
  3. 3
    On a hot plate, skillet, etc., place one slice of ham down, followed by swiss cheese, then the other slice of ham (if you use the long slices of ham, they will wrap around the cheese quite nicely). The cheese should be as protected from the pan as much as possible. You want to heat on a medium/high heat and flip this after a minute or two so the top side gets a turn down on the pan. But don't cook this too long as it will make the meat tough and the cheese will melt and leak out all over the place. Just heat until meat is slightly brown on top and bottom and the cheese has mostly melted.
  4. 4
    While meat and cheese are cooking, place 2 slices of bread in toaster. When done, add mayo and/or mustard to toast and place ham/cheese on bottom slice of toast. Top with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add top piece of toast, slice sandwich on the diagonal, throw on a plate with some potato chips and get busy (all the while wondering why you didn't go ahead and make that second one while you were at it!) -- back to the kitchen. These things ARE addictive. You've been warned!

Made these and then proceeded to cook them like a panini on my George Foreman grill using thinly sliced Sour Dough bread. This was an excellent sandwich that my girlfriend and I really enjoyed! Mike

    First recipe on here that I actually liked and was easy to make! You have found my new pregnancy craving. Sandwich was delish! I prepared 2 for myself, just in case, and one for my aunt, and we loved it!

    This sandwich has everything going for it. Wonderful ingredients, easy-to-make and deliciously messy. I must like it — I have made one three days in a row, each time using a croissant. I used dijon mustard and colby cheese. Thanks Peggy, I feel like one of your favourite customers! Made and devoured — repeatedly — for Pick a Chef.
