A sandwich is a type of sandwich made from two slices of bread, with a choice of meat, fish, sausages, vegetables and greens placed between them. Today we suggest making a homemade sandwich with ham and cheese, which can be a full breakfast or a hearty snack. The recipe is simple and quick, so even a novice cook can handle it.

How to cook Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Step 1

Butter all 4 slices of bread on one side.

Step 2

On the unbuttered side of the slice, layer the cheese, ham, onion, tomato and more cheese. Cover the filling with a slice of bread (buttered side out). Do the same for the second sandwich.

Step 3

Fry the formed sandwiches in a frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side. The oil will give the bread an appetizing golden hue.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use mayonnaise instead of butter for the sandwich?

Yes, you can substitute butter with mayonnaise for a richer flavor and golden crust. Mayonnaise has a higher smoke point and adds a slightly tangy taste.

What are some vegetarian alternatives to ham in this sandwich?

For a vegetarian version, replace ham with grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms, or marinated tofu. You could also use plant-based deli slices for a similar texture.

How long can I store a prepared ham and cheese sandwich?

Assembled but uncooked sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Cooked sandwiches are best eaten immediately but can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days in an airtight container.

Can I make this sandwich in a panini press instead of a frying pan?

Absolutely! A panini press works great for this recipe. Cook for 3-4 minutes at medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy.

Is there a low-carb option for this sandwich?

For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas instead of bread. You can also try keto-friendly bread alternatives.

Can I freeze ham and cheese sandwiches for later?

Yes, you can freeze assembled but uncooked sandwiches for up to 1 month. Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.

What type of cheese works best for melting in this sandwich?

Good melting cheeses include cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, or American. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan as they don't melt as well.

How can I make this sandwich crispier?

For extra crispiness, spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of the bread and cook for an additional 30 seconds per side on medium-high heat.

What are some good side dishes to serve with this sandwich?

Pair your sandwich with pickle spears, potato chips, a simple green salad, or tomato soup for a complete meal.

Can I prepare multiple sandwiches at once if cooking for a crowd?

Yes, you can prepare and assemble all sandwiches in advance. Cook them in batches, keeping finished sandwiches warm in a 200°F oven until all are ready.
