Ham and Havarti Sandwiches with Peach-Mustard Spread
I think a beach picnic, even a picnic with “just” sandwiches, should be more memorable—and delicious—than everyday picnic fare, especially since boneless ready-to-serve hams are so readily available. Purchase deli-sliced Havarti and brioche or batards for the sandwich bread. The Peach-Mustard Spread makes 2 cups. You can refrigerate leftovers for up to two weeks.
For the Sandwiches
- 1 boneless sliced heat-and-serve ham quarter
- 2 large navel oranges
- 1 (12-ounce) can cola
- ½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 French or crusty bread rolls, halved horizontally
- 1 pound sliced Havarti cheese
- 1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula
For the Peach-Mustard Spread
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup grainy mustard
Print Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ham in a baking dish.
- Slice 1 orange and place the slices between the ham slices and over the ham.
- Grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the remaining orange into a bowl and add the cola, brown sugar, and cloves. Pour over the ham. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the ham is browned. Let cool.
- To make the spread, stir the preserves and mustard together in a small bowl. Spoon a little onto the cut sides of each roll. Top evenly with ham slices, cheese slices, and arugula. Serve.
