This is classic 1950s cocktail fare that, unlike the savory gelées and boiled ham canapés that are best forgotten, we still want to eat today. Just wrap cocktail olives in a simple Cheddar dough and bake until golden. Martini optional.

CHARRED SPANISH HAM AND CHEESE MELTS AND "HOT" OLIVES WITH HERBS AND SPICES



Charred Spanish Ham and Cheese Melts and

Rachael's note: Serrano ham is similar to prosciutto and available at deli counter or in pre-sliced packages near the deli. If you can't find it, go for the prosciutto. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Manchego is the most commonly found Spanish import cheese in markets today. Look for it with the imported cheeses offered in your market. Look for giardiniera (hot veggies salad) at the salad bar station in your market or, in jars on international foods aisle.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices crusty bread from a good-sized loaf, 1/2-inch thick, at least 5 inches across and 3 inches wide
1/3 pound thinly slices serrano ham
1/3 to 1/2 pound manchego, thinly sliced with sharp knife or cheese plane
1 cup hot pickled vegetable salad of cauliflower, carrots, celery and hot peppers (giardiniera) drained,
1/2 cup sweet pickled red pepper relish or sweet pickle relish
2 cups mixed good quality olives
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Layer serrano and cheese in equal amounts on 4 slices of bread. Grind the hot pickled vegetables and the sweet pickle relish in food processor and pulse chop to make a relish. Spread the relish evenly on sandwich tops and set into place.
  • Place olives in a foil pouch and season with thyme, lemon zest, cumin seeds and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and seal the pouch. Place pouch on grill and cook a few minutes on each side to heat the olives, herb and spices.
  • Preheat grill or grill pan to medium high.
  • Place sandwiches on grill and weight down with heavy skillet or a brick covered in foil. Char and heat the sandwiches through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Cut sammies in half and serve with "Hot" Olives alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right olives: Choose firm, ripe olives that are not too salty. Kalamata, Castelvetrano, and Cerignola olives are all good choices.
  • Prepare the olives: If using fresh olives, remove the pits and slice them in half. If using jarred olives, drain them and pat them dry.
  • Use high-quality cheese: Use a good melting cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
  • Season the olives: Before baking, season the olives with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all good choices.
  • Bake the olives: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the olives in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately: Hot cheese olives are best served immediately. They can be served as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
