Recipe by Terrence Gallivan Love a ham sandwich with mustard on rye? Those familiar flavors are reimagined in this easily achievable dish.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • 2 cups torn 1/2" pieces rye bread
  • 2 tablespoons Banyuls vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced country ham, prosciutto, or Speck

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 °F. Thinly spread mustard on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until dried, 1-1 1/2 hours. Let cool; crumble.
  2. Place eggs in a small saucepan; add water to cover by 1 1/2". Bring to a boil; remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel; set aside (yolks should still be runny).
  3. Toast caraway seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, 1 minute. Add grapeseed oil and bread; cook, tossing occasionally, until bread is just golden, about 4 minutes. Let cool, then blend in a blender until as smooth as possible; set rye oil aside.
  4. Blend eggs, vinegar, and lemon juice in a clean blender until smooth. With motor running, slowly add rye oil, then olive oil; blend until aioli is thickened. Pass through a sieve into a small bowl; season with salt.
  5. Spread aioli on plates, top with ham, and sprinkle with mustard powder.
