Ingredients
- 200 grams Jarlsberg cheese
- 250 grams Black Forest ham
- 200 grams Fresh cranberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Orange juice
- 60 milliliters Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 loaf French baguette or crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cranberry sauce by combining the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, water, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Stir the mixture frequently until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 3
Slice the baguette into 1-inch slices and lightly butter each slice on both sides.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Slice the Jarlsberg cheese thinly and layer it with the Black Forest ham evenly on the toasted bread slices.
Step 6
Optionally, heat the assembled bread in the skillet or a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Step 7
Top each piece with a dollop of the cranberry sauce.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
