When
I was a kid, my mom made these sandwiches for us at lunch (we came home from the
neighborhood school for lunch) and they were always a hit. After I made them for Bev and me several years
ago, she also became a fan.
Since
we had some ham, bread, and tomatoes needing to be used, this was a good excuse
to make another round. The ingredients
for each of these sandwiches was:
One slice of sour dough bread from a round loaf
One 1/4” slice of Kentucky Legend Ham
Shredded
cheese of your choice (or slices)
Sliced
Roma tomatoes
Diced
onion
Italian
spices (mom used just oregano)
S&P
Directions:
1. Nuke
the ham slice to warm it a little then build the sandwich – bread, ham, cheese,
tomato, onion, seasonings.
2. Bake
in the toaster oven at 350 for about 10 minutes or until cheese begins to melt,
then run it trough one toast cycle to finish cooking.
Note: The stacking order is important to ensure the onions and tomatoes cook some. If you want the cheese on top, just wait and add it after the toast cycle then broil it until melted.
The
sandwiches were delicious and, of course, would be even better with tomatoes
right off the vine. My next one will have a couple of ever easy eggs on top.

Larry, I'm not surprised that you're planning to put eggs on top the next time you build one of these! Nice looking creation with basic ingredients and lots of flavor going for it. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHmmm...these would certainly hit the spot at our house! It isn't your everyday ham and mustard!
ReplyDeleteI picture you having one of these for breakfast with an egg on top! This sandwich sounds delicious. Did you mom use Sourdough? The sandwich from my childhood memories are from left over roast beef - yum.
ReplyDeleteYummy looking sandwich, and so many variations that you could do with that as well.
ReplyDeleteHow cool you got to go home for lunch. Neighborhoods aren't what they used to be! Love this sandwich and I know my husband will too. I'm going to make it for him! Thanks Larry
ReplyDeleteThis sandwich has me drooling! Good idea - over easy egg on top would make this beauty even more tasty!
