Mortadella + Ham Sandwich – Grilled

This is the best grilled sandwich you’ll ever make, I promise!

Ingredients

• 2 slices of Italian Mortadella per sandwich.
• Smoked Honey Ham, sliced thin.
• Wite bread. I prefer artisan white, but sourdough is also good.
• Red Pepper Jelly (I like Bonnie’s Jams)
• Mayo
• Optional pickled red onions
• Cheese. Brie is the absolute best, but you can use Swiss if that’s what you have.
  (avoide cheddar for this one)

The Build

1. Mayo the inside of one slice, and be generous.
2. Red Pepper Jelly the other slice. Go light on this side; a little goes a long way.
3. Fold up to 4 pieces of Ham into “bunches” and place them on the red pepper jelly side.
   (“bunching” the ham into little piles help ad air, making each bite less dense)
4. Fold Mortadella in half and layer on top of the ham.
5. Ad soft bree over the mortadella.
6. Set your skillet to medium-low and let it preheat.
7. While the pan warms, assemble the sandwich and butter both sides.
8. Grill, covered, until golden brown on each side.

Optional: After removing the sandwich from the pan, open it and carefully add cold pickled red onions. They add a nice tang and crunch to a warm sandwich.
