Recipe Introduction

"Take your basic ham sandwich and turn it inside out, and you have the concept behind this boneless baked ham spread with honey-mustard and then covered with herbed rye-bread crumbs. The coating bakes into a crispy crust. You don't have to save this for a special occasion: Make it for the family on the weekend, and then use the leftovers during the week. "

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
