Ingredients

3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, or 6 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style bread

4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 pounds Black Forest ham, thinly sliced
12 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced

Preparation

  1. Brush cut side of ciabatta rolls with oil. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes.
