Ham sandwich made with focaccia bread, with lettuce and mustard

The ham sandwich is a common type of sandwich. The bread may be fresh or toasted, and it can be made with a variety of toppings including cheese and vegetables like lettuce, tomato, onion or pickle slices. Various kinds of mustard and mayonnaise are also common.

Sliced bread, sliced cheese, and sliced cooked ham are very readily available in Western supermarkets and as a result ham sandwiches are quick and easy to prepare. They are a common component of a packed lunch.

The British Sandwich Association says that the ham sandwich is the most popular sandwich in the UK, and a survey they conducted in 2001 saw ham as the second favorite filling behind cheese. 70% of the 1.8 billion sandwiches eaten in France in 2008 were ham sandwiches, prompting a French economic analysis firm to begin a ‘jambon-beurre index’, like the Big Mac Index, to compare prices across the country.

The world’s longest ham sandwich was created by butcher Nico Jimenez in Pamplona, Spain in 2009.

In French cuisine, a croque-monsieur is a type of ham and cheese sandwich. It is baked or fried.

In Brazilian cuisine, this sandwich roasted is known as misto-quente (“hot mix” in literal translation).

The Cuban sandwich is made with ham, cheese, and crusty Cuban bread, often toasted in a panini press. Variations of this sandwich are popular in both Cuba and South Florida.

A grilled ham and cheese sandwich, in a cast iron frying pan

A ham and cheese sandwich is a common type of sandwich. It is made by putting cheese and sliced ham between two slices of bread. The bread is sometimes buttered and/or toasted. Vegetables like lettuce, tomato, onion or pickle slices can also be included. Various kinds of mustard and mayonnaise are also common.

Sliced bread, sliced cheese, and sliced cooked ham are very readily available in Western supermarkets and as a result ham and cheese sandwiches are quick and easy to prepare. They are a common component of a packed lunch.

As recalled by ballpark concessionaire Harry Stevens in a 1924 interview, in 1894 ham and cheese sandwiches were the only food sold in New York baseball parks; frankfurters were introduced in 1909.

Open-faced ham and cheese tapas-style sandwiches

An Englishwoman, writing in 1923 of her passage through Ellis Island on a trip to the U.S., noted:

I was in fear and trembling, having heard so many tales of the abuse aliens receive there…. The attendants were very kind and not at all rough with us. It was the noon hour… in a little while porters came along with baskets of very good ham and cheese sandwiches and coffee for the grown-ups and milk for the babies.
Richard E. Byrd took ham and cheese sandwiches on his 1926 polar flight as did 1927 transatlantic fliers Chamberlin and Levine.

The origin of the ham and cheese sandwich has been debated for a number of years by culinary intellectuals. The leading theory as to who first started to produce a ham, cheese and bread dish is mentioned in The Larousse Gastronomique 1961. Here it notes that Patrick Connolly, an 18th-century Irish immigrant to England, sold a bread dish which:

Home made ham and cheese sandwich

“combined the remains of pig, cured and sliced with a topping of Leicester cheese and a kiss of egg yolk sauce (a form of mayonnaise) in a round bread roll. The dish was rather unimaginatively known as a Connolly and is still sometimes referred to as this in some parts of the Midlands in the UK.”

In the UK, a common addition to a ham and cheese sandwich is pickle (a sweet, vinegary chutney originally by Branston); the snack is then known as a ham, cheese and pickle sandwich.

In French cuisine, a croque-monsieur is a type of ham and cheese sandwich. It is topped with cheese and baked or fried.

Baked Ham & Swiss Sliders w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Today’s Menu: Baked Ham & Swiss Sliders w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

We got some hot and humid weather coming, around 89 to 90 degrees. I can take the heat but the humidity is what makes me uncomfortable. For dinner one my favorite recipes, Baked Ham & Swiss Sliders w/ Baked Crinkle Fries. A while back I made some Aunt Millie’s Baked Ham & Swiss Rolls, using Aunt Millie’s Hawaiian Rolls. This time I made them using Kroger Whole Wheat Slider Buns. These are only 70 calories and 13 carbs. I also used Kroger Hickory Smoker Ham and it’s 70 calories and 1 carb per serving along with Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese which is 40 calories and 1 carb per slice, but I’ll only be adding a half a slice per sandwich.

This is makes one tasty sandwich! This is another one of those keeper recipes. To prepare it preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then I used the package of Slider Buns, 1 – 12 oz. Package of Kroger Private Selection Hickory Smokehouse Ham, and 1 package of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. I placed the bottom half of the bun in the bottom in a deep baking pan large enough to hold 12 sandwiches, about 11″ x 14″ pan. Then I topped the rolls in the pan with Ham slices, and top with the Swiss Cheese slices. and placed the top of the rolls on the sandwiches.

I then poured a topping mixture evenly over the sandwiches. To make the mixture I combined the following ingredients: 4 Tbsp. butter (1/2 stick) melted, 2 tsp. dried onion, 1 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tsp. Poppyseed dressing, and 1/2 tsp. yellow mustard. Mix well with a whisk or fork till its well combined. Pour mixture evenly over the sandwiches. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes to allow the rolls to crisp. Remove from oven to cool and serve. And as I said earlier they are delicious. The topping mixture is what gives it it’s fantastic flavor. I can’t wait to try this on some Grilled Cheese or Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwiches! The recipe is for 12 sandwiches, I only made 6 Sandwiches so I cut back on the amount of Butter I used. I used Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter, another calorie and carb saver! Just by doing the little things like going to an Ultra Thin cut of Meat or Cheese or by going with low fat, reduced fat, low carb you can end up reducing the fat, calorie and carb count on any recipe. It all adds up. Once again the Sandwiches came out absolutely delicious! It’s just the whole combination of everything that just bursts these Sandwiches with flavor. I love these sandwiches!! I’ve left the original recipe and web site link to Aunt Millie’s below.

To accompany my Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches I prepared some Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

An Easy But Tasty Lunch and I’ve switched to Sargento Cheese!

February 2, 2013 at 1:13 PM | Posted in cheese, grilling, Sargento's Cheese | 1 Comment
Tags: Cheese, cook, Griddle, Ham, Ham and cheese sandwich, Home, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, Sargento Cheese

For lunch I broke the flat griddle out making a Grilled Cheese and Ham Sandwich. Easy to make, delicious, and still a classic comfort food!

Mmmm!

I used Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, Sargento Ultra Thin Colby/Jack Cheese, and Kroger Brand Private Selection Smokehouse Hickory Ham. I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter to coat the grill. As I said it’s quick, easy and delicious. The Smokehouse Ham is some of the best packaged Ham there is, very flavorful! The Sargento Cheese is only 120 calories and 1 carb for 3 slices. Ah the Cheese.

I’ve been using Kraft Cheese products my entire life. But in the past couple of years the size and amount of the various Kraft Cheese has been getting smaller and smaller with the price remaining the same or in some instances increasing. I’m a huge fan of their Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheese (Block). That has shrunk from 540g down to 500g (was 600g in 2007). Plus I’ve noticed that the local stores around here are carrying less Kraft Cheese Products and the 2% Cheese products are real hard to find. So with all that I’ve almost completely switched over to Sargento Cheese. The prices are somewhat cheaper most of the time and they have a fantastic selection of Reduced Fat and Ultra Thin Cheese products. So it’s goodbye Kraft, hello Sargento!

Went to the store early to pick up some items for tonight’s dinner. It’s still frigid out but a beautiful sunny day, but snow on the way Friday! Prepared a new recipe for dinner tonight that I came across on Facebook, on the Aunt Millie’s Facebook page, Baked Ham & Swiss Rolls . It looked and sounded too good not to try, and it was delicious! So for dinner tonight I prepared Baked Ham & Swiss Rolls w/ Baked Fingerling Parm Wedges and Asparagus.

This is one tasty sandwich! This is another one of those keeper recipes, but I’ll have to put a star next to it because it’s so delicious. T o prepare it preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then I used A package of package of Aunt Millie’s Hawaiian dinner rolls. (12 ct), 1 – 12 oz. Package of Hillshire Farm Smoked Ham/Ultra Thin, and 1 package of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. I lightened the calorie and carb count by using the thin cuts of Ham and Cheese.Cut the rolls in half and Place the bottom in a deep baking pan large enough to hold 12 sandwiches, about 11″ x 14″ pan. Then I topped the rolls in the pan with Ham slices, and top with the Swiss Cheese slices. and placed the top of the rolls on the sandwiches.

I then poured a topping mixture evenly over the sandwiches. To make the mixture I combined the following ingredients: 8 Tbsp. butter (one stick) melted, 2 tsp. dried onion, 1 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tsp. Poppyseed dressing, and 1/2 tsp. yellow mustard. Mix well with a whisk or fork till its well combined. Pour mixture evenly over the sandwiches. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes to allow the rolls to crisp. Remove from oven to cool and serve. And as I said earlier they are delicious. The topping mixture is what gives it it’s fantastic flavor. I can’t wait to try this on some Grilled Cheese or Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwiches! The recipe is for 12 sandwiches, I only made 8 sandwiches so I cut back on the amount of Butter I used. I used Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter, another calorie and carb saver! Just by doing the little things like going to an Ultra Thin cut of Meat or Cheese or by going with low fat, reduced fat, low carb you can end up reducing the fat, calorie and carb count on any recipe. It all adds up.

Tp accompany my Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches I prepared some Baked Fingerling Potato Wedges. I just quartered the Potatoes and then mixed them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Black Peppercorn, and Parsley. Put them on a cookie sheet pan and baked them at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. I also prepared a bag of Pict Sweet Asparagus Spears. It comes in a Steam Microwavable Bag, just heat for 5 minutes and it’s ready! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups and Creamy Tomato Soup

It’s been a really cold and blustery day out so I wanted something hot and healthy. So I made some Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups along with some Creamy Tomato Soup. I used Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls, Sara Lee Thin Sliced Baked Ham, and Sargento’s 2% Reduced Fat Colby/Jack Sliced Cheese. The recipe is at the end of the post. I used Campbell’s Creamy Tomato Soup. For dessert later I made another batch of the Frozen Chocolate Dipped Mini Bananas, I used Hershy‘s Sugarless Dark Chocolate to dip them in and rolled them in crushed Walnuts.

Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups

INGREDIENTS:
1 Can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated Reduced Fat Crescent Dinner Rolls
8 Thin slices Cooked Ham (8 oz), Sara Lee Thin Slice
4 Thin slices Cheddar cheese (4 oz), each cut into 4 strips. Sargento 2% Reduced Fat Colby/Jack

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350°F. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place 1 piece of ham on each triangle; place 2 strips of cheese down center of ham. Fold in edges of ham to match shape of dough triangle.
Roll up each crescent, ending at tip of triangle. Place with tips down on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 15 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
