Nothing says comfort to me like a grilled cheese sandwich. This is a delicious variation from the classic. Recipe from Family Circle.
Ingredients:
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt, pinch
4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
3 teaspoons horseradish
2 teaspoons honey
8 slices light whole wheat bread
12 slices light ham
4 slices gruyere cheese
4 cups mixed greens (optional)
Directions:
1. Coat a medium-size nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat.
2. Add onion, sugar and salt to skillet; cover.
3. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until lightly browned; remove from heat.
4. Stir together mustard, horseradish and honey; set aside.
5. Spread 4 slices of bread evenly with mustard mixture, then layer 3 slices ham over each piece of bread.
6. Place about 2 T onions on top of the ham, then place 1 slice cheese on top of the onions.
7. Place 4 remaining bread slices over cheese.
8. Spritz both sides of sandwich with nonstick cooking spray and cook in nonstick skillet over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until cheese has melted, turning halfway through.
9. Serve with mixed greens on the side, if desired.
