Ingredients

  • 8 slices crusty Italian bread
  • ½ cup apricot jam
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • 8 ounce package of sliced ham (I use NatureRaised Farms Uncured Smoked Sliced Ham)
  • 1 Granny Smith apple thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • ½ tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Assemble the sandwiches. Spread jam and mustard over the sliced bread. Arrange ham slices over 4 slices of bread. Add sliced apples and mounds of cheese over the ham. Season with rosemary and close sandwiches with the remaining slices.
  • Grill. Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches until they're golden brown on both sides. Use more butter if needed. Serve immediately.
