Introducing a ham and cheese sandwich recipe that’s perfect for kids’ snacks or a simple meal! The savory cheese, fresh vegetables, and flavorful ham come together for a delightful crunch and healthy taste. This sandwich is ideal for weekend brunches or as a picnic lunch.
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 1 slice cheese
- 2 slices sandwich ham
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- Lettuce (appropriate amount)
- Pickles (appropriate amount)
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard
- 1/2 Tbsp whole grain mustard (dijon mustard)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the lettuce, a key vegetable for this sandwich. Wash the leaves thoroughly under cold running water. It’s crucial to shake off excess water and then gently pat them dry with paper towels. This step ensures the lettuce stays crisp and prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Step 2
Next, slice the cherry tomatoes about 0.5 cm thick, and slice the pickles similarly. Place these sliced vegetables on paper towels and lightly press to remove any excess moisture. This will contribute to a cleaner, fresher taste in your sandwich.
Step 3
Now, let’s make a special sauce to enhance the sandwich’s flavor. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 Tbsp whole grain mustard and 1 Tbsp honey mustard. Mix them well. The tangy kick of the mustard combined with the sweetness of honey mustard will elevate the flavors of the ham and cheese. Feel free to add a little mayonnaise if you prefer.
Step 4
Toast the sandwich bread in a toaster until golden brown. A lightly toasted bread provides a wonderful contrast in texture—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—making the sandwich more satisfying. While not strictly necessary, toasting significantly enhances the flavor.
Step 5
Spread the prepared special sauce evenly on one side of a toasted bread slice. Layer the 2 slices of ham without overlapping, followed by the slice of cheese. Layering the ham and cheese generously will result in a richer taste experience.
Step 6
On top of the cheese, arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes and pickles. These vegetables will add a burst of freshness and a tangy counterpoint to the ham and cheese.
Step 7
Finally, generously pile on the drained lettuce. Plenty of greens make the sandwich more flavorful and texturally interesting. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inner side of the remaining bread slice and place it on top to complete the sandwich. The mayonnaise acts as a binder and adds a creamy element.
Step 8
Cut the completed ham and cheese sandwich into easy-to-eat portions. Slicing it in half diagonally into triangles is often preferred, especially for children. Congratulations, you’ve made a wonderful and delicious ham and cheese sandwich! Enjoy your meal.
