Ultimate Ham Sandwich Recipes

HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cream together the butter, mustard and sliced scallions. Season to taste with salt and freshly milled black pepper.
• Spread one side of each slice of bread with the butter.
• Cover each side of half of the bread slices with a layer of the thinly sliced ham.
• Sprinkle over the parmesan shavings and season with a little freshly milled black pepper.
• Lay a slice of buttered bread over the top of each sandwich and press down lightly.
• Trim the crusts off each sandwich.
• Now cut them into either 3 rectangles, 4 triangles, 4 squares or 4 octagonals (squares with the corners trimmed off).
• Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a serving platter and garnish lightly with sprigs of watercress. Serve immediately.

RACHAEL RAY'S THE ULTIMATE HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place a medium-size pot over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk the milk and mustard into the butter-flour mixture. Season it with some fresh nutmeg, salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook for about until it thickens up.
• Place four slices of bread on the counter. Spread some of the sauce onto each slice of bread, then lay down some ham, a couple slices of cheese, another smear of sauce and top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. In a high-sided dish, whisk up the eggs. Dip the sandwiches in the egg and transfer them to the hot pan. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side.
• While the sandwiches are cooking, whisk the raspberry jam, white vinegar, EVOO, some salt and freshly ground black pepper in a large salad bowl. Toss the salad greens in the dressing and serve them up alongside the best ham and cheese you've ever had!

THE BEST HAM SANDWICHES EVER

Steps:

• You will need two 9 x 13 pans. Place the bottoms of 12 rolls in each pan. Place ham (about 2 shaved slices or so) on the rolls. Cut the cheese slices into 4 parts and place 2 small pieces on each sandwich. Put the dinner roll tops on. In a sauce pan, mix butter, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, and dried onions. Wait until all butter is melted and then pour the melted mixture over the ham sandwiches (I know it sounds weird but TRUST me). Sprinkle the buns with poppy seeds and cover with foil. Let refrigerate overnight (If not able to wait, it is okay. They still taste great if made right away). Preheat oven to 350 and uncover sandwiches. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes and serve. They are great hot and even at room temperature Enjoy!
• *I have made these with turkey also and they are good. Not as great as the ham, but they are good.
