Note: Please don't omit the apple butter, it's what makes these sandwiches deliciously special!
Makes 6
3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, or thick sliced bread (I used ciabattini rolls)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple butter
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 pounds Black Forest ham, thinly sliced
6 slices imported Swiss cheese (original recipe calls for sharp cheddar cheese)
1 small bunch fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.
Broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes (watch carefully). Remove from oven.
Spread about a teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each roll half, then spread with a rounded teaspoon or so of apple butter. Top with ham, then cheese. Broil until cheese melts and begins to bubble and brown in spots, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.
