This unusual, quick-to-make breakfast sandwich uses homemade frico, or cheese crisps, instead of bread. If you prefer, you can fill the sandwiches with smoked turkey or Canadian bacon instead of ham and use shredded Parmesan instead of sharp Cheddar to make the cheese crisps.

Ingredients

  • 1 piece(s) paper, parchment
    to line baking sheet
  • 1 cup(s) cheese, cheddar, sharp, reduced-fat, shredded
    (4 ounces)
  • 4 teaspoon mustard, coarse-grain
  • 2 ounce(s) ham, smoked, lean
    cut into 8 pieces
  • 4 piece(s) pepper(s), red sweet, roasted
    (from a jar)
  • 1/4 cup(s) onion(s), red
    thinly sliced

Instructions

  • 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Using 2 tablespoons for each, sprinkle the cheese into 8 mounds on the baking sheet. Spread each mound out into a 3-inch round. Bake for 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and spread slightly. Remove from the oven and let stand on the baking sheet until the cheese sets, about 2 minutes.

  • 3

    Using a thin-bladed metal spatula, lift the rounds off the baking sheet. Brush the smooth side of each round with mustard. Top each of 4 rounds with 1 piece of ham, a red pepper, another piece of ham, and one-fourth of the onion. Top with the remaining cheese rounds, mustard side down, and serve warm. 

  • Each serving is 1 breakwich.
