Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces ham (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup jalapeño peppers (sliced, fresh or pickled)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 4 ciabatta rolls (or hoagie rolls)
- 1 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and hot sauce (if using) until smooth. Set aside.
Cut the ciabatta rolls in half and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the inside of each half.
Layer the bottom halves of the rolls with ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and a few jalapeño slices. Place the top halves of the rolls on top to sandwich everything together.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich (both top and bottom).
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!
