Spiral Ham Sandwich

If you’re looking for a way to use up your leftover ham, a sandwich is the perfect choice. After all, the more meat piled onto a sandwich, the better it is. Give the sandwich some balance by spreading two slices of crusty bread with sweet strawberry jam.

Ingredients

• 1 demi baguette
• 3 1/2 tablespoons Cheese Butter
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 4 ounces spiral-sliced smoked ham
• 1 ounce arugula
• 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. For the Cheese Butter:
2. Bring both soft cheese and butter to room temperature.
3. Remove the rind from the cheese and whisk together with the butter until thoroughly incorporated.
4. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
5. The Cheese Butter will hold in the refrigerator for up to a week.
6. To assemble the sandwich:
7. Slice the baguette in half and place in a broiler cut side up, or on a grill or griddle cut side down, and toast until golden brown.
8. Lightly dress the arugula with lemon juice and olive oil and set aside.
9. Spread the Cheese Butter evenly on the bottom half of the baguette and spread the strawberry jam evenly on the top half.
10. Place the ham slices on the bottom half of the sandwich; top with the lightly dressed arugula and the top half of the baguette.
11. Slice in half and serve.
