When most people think of post-holiday sandwiches, turkey, stuffing & cranberry sauce come to mind. While this now iconic sandwich is certainly delightful, I beg to say, Easter leftovers can make for a worthy rival of a sandwich.
After Easter dinner, many families are left with an overwhelming bounty of colorful boiled eggs, and a large quantity of remaining ham. Here, I’ve teamed these two common leftovers with asparagus (grilled asparagus recipe), which plentiful this time of year, and served it up on a freshly grilled Ciabatta, with Swiss cheese and a Buttermilk, Horseradish and mustard sauce. The combination would work for any mealtime.
The Ecce Panis Ciabatta bread used in this recipe is the perfect choice, since it is made to have the baking process finished off in the oven, but I’ve found, it comes out great on a med-low grill. With the warm temperatures we have been getting in much of the country, not using the oven to make fresh bread, could be a real bonus. It is also exactly the right size for Swiss cheese slices

- Ecce Panis Ciabatta bread
- ¼-1/2 ounce thinly sliced ham.
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 hard boiled eggs sliced
- 6-8 cooked asparagus spears (preferably grilled or roasted)
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbs. buttermilk
- 2 tbs. horseradish
- 1½ tbs. old fashioned whole grain Dijon mustard
- Preheat grill to low/med.
- Place Ciabatta loaf on grill, and flip after about 5 minutes. Grill another 5 minutes. If you don’t have precooked asparagus, grill it on the other side (marinate in olive oil & balsamic).
- While the bread is grilling, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, horseradish and grain mustard to make your dressing.
- Slice bread horizontally. Place ham, then Swiss on one side.
- Grill both pieces. The empty side will grill inside down, to crisp up.
- Once the ham is warm and cheese is melted, top with sliced eggs, then asparagus.
- Serve with dressing on side, so it can be applied during the meal.
Ecce Panis Ciabatta bread cooks wonderfully on the grill, as does asparagus.
Buttermilk Horseradish Mustard sauce is quickly whipped up while bread & asparagus are on grill.
Warm the ham, melt the cheese & crisp the inside of the bread on the grill
Top with sliced hard boiled egg. There are always plenty of those arounf after Easter.
Place asparagus spears on top, in alternating directions. Generously douse with the Buttermilk, Horseradish and Mustard sauce.

That looks so delish! I love asparagus but have never tried it on a sandwich!
That looks delicious–and great minds certainly think alike! I came *SO* close to do a sandwich, but opted for a breakfast casserole instead!
We used almost the same ingredients!! 
YUM!
This is awesome! I never know what to do with all those leftover hard boiled eggs. Thanks for the tip!
Yummy sandwich!! I wish I could have a bite…
This sounds so good! I’m going to have to try to make it!
I am totally going to make sure I have all the ingredients to make this and hope there are leftovers at Easter. The top photo sucked me in and made my mouth water!
Mmmm, what a tasty idea, I love it!
This looks awesome! I would have never thought to put these ingredients on a sandwich.

Asparagus is my fave veggie and I would have never thought to put it on a sandwich! This looks so YUM!
that sandwich looks so freakin good! Shar Cibiatta rolls are a very good gluten free choice for this.
That looks really yummy. I am waiting for the fresh local asparagus to start showing up!
That sandwich looks awesome! I really liked the bread I tried a few days ago by Ecce Panis.
Oh yum…these look amazing. I am so hungry right now, and you are not helping
I am totally going to make this – and what a great idea doing it on the grill!
That looks great! I’ve never even thought to put boiled eggs on a sandwich, I usually just devour them whole.
