Are you sick of seeing recipes featuring leftover Easter ham? I hope not, because I have one more for ya.
My in-laws sent us home with a generous portion of the delicious ham that we enjoyed last weekend in CT, and I was dreaming about this sandwich before we even got back to MA.
Sweet-smoky ham paired with sharp cheddar and maple-y caramelized apples makes for one fantastic spin on the classic grilled cheese!

Ingredients (1 sandwich)
1/2 large apple, preferably organic, sliced thinly1 tsp butter, plus more for spreading on bread2 tsp pure maple syrup, preferably grade B2 slices hearty whole wheat bread1 thick slice leftover baked hamenough slices of sharp cheddar to cover one slice of breadInstructions
Heat 1 tsp butter in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add in the apple slices and cook, stirring occasionally until light brown, about 2 minutes. Add in the maple syrup, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 2-3 additional minutes.
Layer the ham, caramelized apples, and cheddar slices onto one slice of bread. Top with remaining slice of bread. Lightly spread butter over top of sandwich. Place sandwich, buttered side down, in the skillet over medium heat and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip sandwich, lightly spread top side with butter, cover skillet, and cook until the bread is browned and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes.
