Hubby is such a strange man. He will not nibble on a cheese platter. He turns his nose up at my wonderful holiday Cheese Ball creation. Put cheese on a burger? No way! But grill a ham sandwich and he loves American Cheese or a nice slice of cheddar. Pizza? You bet, pile on the cheese. I guess you could say Hubby’s a selective cheese eater.
This Loaf makes for a light dinner, a warm lunch on a chilly winter afternoon or even a nice addition to a Super Bowl Spread (shape the loaf like a football – that would be a nice touch). I don’t mind sandwiches in the winter, but I’d prefer them to be warm. And let me tell you, fresh from the oven and this is one delicious Ham and Cheese sandwich!
Warm Ham and Cheddar Loaf
1 lb. frozen bread dough, thawed
9 oz Deli Smoked Ham, sliced
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Miracle Whip Dressing
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Flatten bread dough on lightly floured surface. Roll into 12-inch x 8-inch rectangle with rolling-pin. Top with ham to within 1/2 inch of edges. Mix cheddar cheese with Miracle Whip. Spread mixture over the ham.
Moisten edges of dough with water. Fold lengthwise into thirds; pinch seams together to seal. Place, seam side down, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cut several slits in top. Brush with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
If desires, serve with a Simple Salad, Tomato-French Onion Soup or Macaroni Salad for a light dinner. Chips and dill pickle spears would make nice accompaniments for lunch.
