Ham Sandwich

Classic Ham Sandwich

A ham sandwich combines sliced ham with bread and a few complementary fillings. Mustard adds sharpness, cheese contributes richness, and crisp vegetables provide freshness and texture.

Suggested Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread or a split roll
• Sliced cooked ham
• Cheddar, Swiss, or provolone cheese
• Mustard or mayonnaise
• Lettuce and sliced tomato
• Pickles or thinly sliced onion, optional

Assembly

1. Spread mustard or mayonnaise over the bread.
2. Layer the ham and cheese evenly.
3. Add lettuce, tomato, and any optional toppings.
4. Close the sandwich and serve cold, or toast it until the bread is crisp and the cheese begins to melt.

Variations

• Sweet and savory: Add apple slices, fig spread, or honey mustard.
• Warm sandwich: Grill with cheese for a crisp exterior and melted center.
• Extra crunch: Add cucumber, coleslaw, or pickled vegetables.

Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated until assembly, and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
