This sophisticated take on a ham and cheese toastie brings a delicious balance of flavours to your lunchtime. These open-faced sandwiches combine salty, thinly sliced ham with extra-sharp white cheddar, all offset by the deep, spiced sweetness of apple butter and a sharp kick of Dijon mustard. Using ciabatta or thick country-style bread provides a sturdy, crunchy base that holds up beautifully under the grill, making this a satisfying and texturally rich meal.

As a high-protein option, this dish is perfect for a quick yet filling midday snack or a casual weekend supper. The addition of fresh chives provides a necessary brightness that cuts through the rich, melted cheese. For a complete meal, serve these warm slices alongside a crisp green salad or a bowl of light vegetable soup. Simple to prepare, it transforms store-cupboard staples into a gourmet toasted sandwich.
