Suggested Wine for this recipe: Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling
Grilled Pesto Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 package Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White Bread
12 slices Sara Lee Pre-Sliced Smoked Provolone Cheese
18 slices Hillshire Farm Ultra-Thin Sliced Honey Ham
1⁄2 cup prepared pesto sauce
6 slices ripe beefsteak tomatoes
1 roll aluminum foil
Method:
Preheat grill to medium heat. Split each roll. Place one slice of cheese on bottom roll.
Top with three slices ham, 1 to 2 tablespoons pesto and tomato slice. Top with one slice of cheese and the top half of the roll. Wrap each sandwich individually in foil. Place on grill and heat 5 minutes. Turn over and grill additional 5 minutes. Unwrap sandwiches and enjoy.
Make it a team effort. “At the end of a busy day, it’s essential to have the entire family pitch in with dinner,” advises Houk.
If you grill with children, always supervise them near the grill. Remember that the grill can stay hot for up to two hours.
Skip the mess. Cooking your sandwiches, vegetables and Ball Park Franks in tin foil virtually eliminates grill cleanup.
Don’t skip dessert. “Stone fruit, such as peaches, nectarines and plums, are great on the grill,” says Houk. “So is Sara Lee Pound Cake. Just slice, brush with melted butter and grill.”
