Ham Sandwich Additions
Ham – Sliced deli ham comes in a variety of flavor profiles like maple glazed, Black Forest, Hot Honey, and Mortadella. But one of our favorite ways to enjoy a ham sammie is to use leftover holiday ham because you can slice it as thin or as thick as you like! Spread – To balance ham’s salty flavor, we love a good homemade honey mustard sauce. Bread – Rye is an excellent bread for ham sandwiches because it’s dense and sturdy and adds loads of flavor. Sourdough, pumpernickel, wheatberry, whole wheat, homemade white bread, Hawaiian rolls for sliders, or even a croissant split in half makes an excellent carrier for these tasty sandwiches. Cheese – Swiss cheese is a tangy complement to salty ham, but a slice of American cheese, Havarti, Gruyere, or Provolone will also taste great!
Toppings for Ham Sandwiches
Besides crispy lettuce and juicy tomatoes, nearly anything can go on a ham sandwich! If holiday leftovers are already ‘gobbled’ up, try topping your sandwich with a fried egg, sliced avocados, or pickled red onions. Leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, and even a scoop of leftover stuffing can be piled high on a ham sandwich!
Best Way to Store a Sandwich
For ham sandwiches that look and taste as good as freshly made, the best way to store them is to wrap them in parchment paper since it absorbs moisture, unlike plastic wrap or baggies. Wrap it once, slice it, and then wrap it again, if desired. This keeps the sandwiches intact and dry. Did you enjoy this Ham Sandwich? Leave us a rating and a comment below! © SpendWithPennies.com.
