Spiced-Ham-and-Cheese Toasts
"At my restaurant, we take inspiration from our mothers," says chef Lauren Kiino, "but we make the recipes using the best local ingredients." So the cheese that helps make the deviled ham velvety comes from Cowgirl Creamery, Kiino's neighbor in the Ferry Building. Her trick for keeping the toast crisp: Spread the ham topping on just before baking. This recipe makes more ham topping than you'll need for the 24 toasts. Plus: Perfect Appetizer Recipes
