Breadless Ham and Cheese Sandwiches image

At first glance, these look like conventional ham and cheese, but that's crunchy jicama, not bread, holding together the fiber-packed sandwiches. And you won't miss the carbs: each bite is a winning combination of salty-creaminess, sharp horseradish, and peppery arugula.

Time 10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon finely sliced chives
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium jicama, about 4 inches wide, peeled and cut into eight 1/3-inch rounds
6 ounces sliced low-sodium deli ham
4 slices Havarti cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 cups baby arugula
Dill pickle spears for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Stir together the sour cream, chives, mustard, horseradish and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large egg yolk (from a pasteurized egg)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup vegetable or grapeseed oil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Spread Homemade Mayonnaise (recipe follows) on a thick slice of crusty white or rye bread. Top with Bibb lettuce, sliced tomato, thick slices of leftover ham, a few dill pickle slices and sliced cheddar cheese. Spread whole-grain mustard on another slice of bread, then close the sandwich.
  • Whisk the egg yolk, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a medium nonreactive heatproof bowl (glass or ceramic). Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring 2 inches water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Set the bowl with the yolk mixture over the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Slowly whisk until a thermometer inserted into the yolk mixture registers 150 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Set the bowl with the yolk mixture in the ice water to stop the cooking; whisk just until the mixture is lukewarm (do not let it get cold).
  • Put the bowl with the yolk mixture on a damp towel. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine the oils in a measuring cup. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the oil into the bowl in a thin stream until smooth and thick. If at any point the oil is not emulsifying into the mixture, stop adding the oil and whisk to combine before continuing. Whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons water if the mayonnaise is too thick. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.
  • Yield: 1 cup
