One of my favorite things about holiday dinners is leftovers.  Easter in this household mean ham and that means a weeks worth of delicious meals with any ham that is left on the bone and then made with the bone itself.

If you are looking for ways to use up your leftover ham, this sandwich is a great start but if you want something more substantial how about Au Gratin Potato and Ham Casserole, Ham and Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes , or Italian White Bean and Ham Soup.

Of course, if you do want a sandwich but don't feel like grilling one you can always use some of that ham to make Ham Salad.  I do both and sometimes I just grab a couple of slices and throw in on a leftover dinner roll with some butter and mustard and call it a day.

I decided to share this sandwich today because I had leftover ham and some leftover Havarti slices that I had served with crackers for Easter dinner on Sunday.  Monday lunch was an easy choice and I was hungry after having finished up the second and third load of dishes that didn't get completed before I dropped from exhaustion the night before.

It hit the spot.  Ham and Havarti are perfect together and I love using Havarti in grilled cheese because not only is it delicious but it melts so nicely.
