Yield Makes 24 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 15

For corn bread rounds
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg
For topping
About 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 lb sliced cooked Virginia country ham*, cut into 1 1/2- by 1/3-inch strips
1/2 cup melon apple chutney
Special Equipment
a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • Make corn bread rounds:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 350°F.
  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together butter, milk, and egg in a small bowl, then add to cornmeal mixture and stir just until combined. Spread (or pat out) batter in a very thin even layer in a well-greased 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan (preferably using an offset spatula).
  • Bake until firm and pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut out 24 rounds from hot corn bread with cookie cutter and transfer rounds to a rack to cool. (Reserve remaining corn bread for another use.)
  • Top rounds:
  • Spread each round with a thin layer of mustard and top with a few strips of ham and about 1 teaspoon chutney.

This dish was a complete disaster. The ham was tough, the melon was bland, and the chutney was inedible.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. I don't think I would make it again.

The cornbread rounds were a bit too crumbly. I think I would use a different recipe next time.

The chutney was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use a milder pepper next time.

I found the ham to be a bit dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the chutney next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their fruits and vegetables.

I've never had ham and melon together before, but it was delicious! The chutney really brought the dish together.

The cornbread rounds were a great addition to this dish. They were light and fluffy and helped to soak up the juices from the ham and melon.

I wasn't sure how the flavors of ham, melon, and chutney would go together, but I was pleasantly surprised! This dish is a great combination of sweet, savory, and tangy.

This ham and melon dish was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors of the ham, melon, and chutney were perfectly balanced. The cornbread rounds were the perfect accompaniment.
