Ham Triangles with Poppy and Sesame Seeds Recipe

Ham Triangles with Poppy and Sesame Seeds Recipe

  • 1/4 lb thinly sliced baked ham such as Black Forest, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons bottled mango chutney such as Major Grey's, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup poppy seeds
  • 16 slices firm whole-wheat bread
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  1. Stir together ham, mayonnaise, chutney, mustard, and salt to taste.
  2. Put sesame and poppy seeds in 2 separate shallow bowls.
  3. Divide bread into 4 stacks. Trim stacks into 2 1/2-inch squares with a serrated knife, discarding crusts. Put 8 bread squares on a work surface in 1 layer, then divide ham mayonnaise among them, spreading evenly to edges. Top each with a plain bread square.
  4. Diagonally halve each sandwich with serrated knife. Spread a thin layer of butter on cut edges of both short sides of 1 triangle, then dip 1 buttered side in sesame seeds and the other in poppy seeds. Put, unseeded side down, on a platter, then coat remaining sandwiches in same manner.
