Grilled Ham and Cheese Cornbread Sammies with Cilantro-Jalepeno Pesto

Over Easter weekend, D and I scored the jackpot (because his parents were generous enough to give us the leftovers) and bring home, not one, but two spiral hams. One was destined for soups (and had a hock the size of my forearm) and the other was destined to be enjoyed on its own - or maybe my favorite way - in sandwiches. My mom had given me these giant corn bread muffins a while back so I pulled them out of the freezer for a quick meal.

Cornbread sandwhich
  • Two slices of corn bread, one side of each buttered
  • One thick slice of spiral ham
  • One slice of Fontina or Monterrey Jack cheese
  • Small handful of Arugula
  • Two slices Avocado
Assemble sanwich and place on a panini maker. Grill until nice, dark marks appear and cheese is melted. 

Cilantro-Jalapeno Pesto
  • Half Bunch of Cilantro
  • One half of a roasted Jalapeno Pepper
  • One half of 1/4 cup grated Parmesan 
  • One half of 1/4 cup Good Quality Olive Oil
  • Squeeze of lime juice if available
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
