Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams cooked ham
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onion, finely sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 pieces bread slices
Instructions
1. Place the cooked ham in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Alternatively, finely dice the ham with a sharp knife if you don't have a food processor.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped ham, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, celery, and green onion. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Season the mixture with black pepper and salt, adjusting to taste. Stir again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
4. Lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet. Evenly divide the ham salad mixture among the slices, spreading it out to cover the surface.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of each sandwich to cover the ham salad layer.
6. Preheat your oven to a broil setting. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the top rack and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
7. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Ham Salad Melts!
