Sweet Hot Habanero Mustard, Ham, and Gruyere Melted on French Bread

My friends and family take such good care of me. The other night after yoga, we went out for a glass of wine and my friend says to me “I have something for you.” … I got really excited because she KNOWS me well.


It was a little jar of habanero jelly. Someone had given it to her for Christmas and she and her family just don’t eat hot pepper stuff. She said “I’ll give it to Ann … she’ll know what to do with it.” … I tell you I just about did a happy dance right there in the middle of the restaurant. I love love love hot pepper jelly and there are really so many delicious ways this hot sweet little concoction can enrich your life.

This is one of them.
