A ham sandwich is a quick, popular meal made with fresh ham, soft baguette bread, crisp vegetables and your choice of sauce. It is simple and nutritious, and it is an ideal choice for a light lunch or a packed meal. The recipe card below lists the ingredients and steps.
How to build a great ham sandwich
- Choose good bread. A fresh baguette or soft roll holds the filling well.
- Spread the sauce on both sides to keep the bread from getting soggy.
- Layer neatly: ham first, then cheese, then vegetables.
- Add crunch. Lettuce, cucumber and tomato make it fresh.
Ideas to customize
- Add cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss or mozzarella.
- Add pickles or olives for tang.
- Toast the sandwich in a pan for a warm version.
- Serve with a side of fries or a salad.
Tips
- Pat tomatoes dry before adding them.
- Keep wet ingredients away from the bread if the sandwich is packed for later.
- Choose lean ham and add vegetables for a lighter option.
Enjoy!
