Ham & Apple Sauce Toasted Sandwich
Sweet meets savoury in every bite of this elevated toasted sandwich.
Thin ribbons of smoky ham are nestled between layers of creamy melted cheese and a bright, juicy hit of apple sauce that cuts through the richness with crisp fruit‑fresh sweetness.
Grilled until the bread is golden and the cheese oozes, each mouthful delivers a playful contrast of textures and flavours. It is comforting and familiar, yet unexpectedly delicious.
Ideal for a quick lunch with a twist or a grown‑up after‑school snack, this sandwich turns humble ingredients into something that truly sings.
Ingredients
-
4 slices sourdough bread (or bread of your choice)
-
Butter, for spreading
-
Mayonnaise, for spreading
-
Dijon or American mustard, for spreading

¼ cup apple sauce

200g Otway Ham

Method
Place bread onto a board. Spread with butter, mayonnaise and mustard.
Dividing ingredients evenly, top 2 slices of bread with apple sauce, ham and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Top, mustard-side down, with the remaining bread. Lightly spray or brush with oil.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches and cook, lightly pressing occasionally with a cooking slide, for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese has melted.
Serve immediately with dill pickles.
