Ham and cheese sandwich with a twist! Using rye bread, two flavors of tangy mustard, fresh vegetables like tomato and onion, and smooth, creamy Havarti cheese. Havarti has a smooth surface with a buttery, creamy flavor. Gouda, white American or mozzarella cheeses make nice substitutes for the Havarti cheese if you don't have any on-hand. You can also sauté the onions before adding them to the sandwich. Serve this hot sandwich with a tossed salad, coleslaw or sliced apples.
