Best Smoked Cheddar Ham Squares Recipes
HAM AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
- Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and carefully roll it out to 10 by 12 inches. Place it on a sheet pan and brush the center with the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place a layer first of ham and then cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry on the floured board and roll it out to 10 by 12inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, lining up the edges. Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve hot or warm.
SMOKED CHEDDAR & HAM PANINI
This was adapted from a recipe card picked up in a grocery store. Delicious - great for a cold day, with some soup! Feel free to change up the bread to what you prefer - the original called for marble rye, but I put in what we usually use. You can use other types of ham and regular cheddar, but the flavor of the smoked versions really contrast wonderfully with the sweetness of the onions and apple, so I would recommend trying them, if possible. I'm also putting a range on the meat, because we prefer smaller meat portions (the 1/4 lb), but I know a lot of people who like more meat, so you could easily use up to 1/2 lb, if desired. The original directions called for using a panini grill, but I don't have one, so I'm enclosing both methods.

Steps:
- Cook onions until tender in a skillet prepared with non-stick cooking spray over medium-high heat.
- When onion is browned, add syrup, stirring well, and cook for an additional minute.
- Allow onion to cool. Spread 2 slices of bread with mayonnaise.
- Layer remaining ingredients on top, ending with the second slice of bread on each sandwich.
- Spray both sides of each sandwich with cooking spray before placing on panini grill or in skillet.
- If using panini grill, grill the sandwiches for about 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
- If using a skillet, cook sandwich over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, flipping once, or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Use a second skillet to weight down the sandwich on top.
