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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and hot sauce (if using) until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Cut the ciabatta rolls in half and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the inside of each half.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich (both top and bottom).
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!
