Preparation

What You Need

1/4 cup (60 ml) water
3 tbsp (45 ml) orange juice
12 dried apricots
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground nutmeg
4 slices crusty whole-grain or
whole-wheat bread, toasted
8 thin slices of cooked ham
5 oz (150 g) Canadian Camembert, sliced
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475 °F (250 °C).

In a saucepan, bring water and orange juice to a boil. Add apricots and nutmeg. Simmer, letting apricots rehydrate for about 5 minutes. Once apricots have swollen up, continue simmering to reduce extra liquid.

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange toast on cookie sheet. Place a slice of ham on each slice of toast, top with apricots and cover with cheese. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired.

Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.

Serve with fresh fruit or a green salad.
