  • Ham and Turkey on whole wheat

    Ham and Turkey on whole wheat

    The holidays are among us. It’s time to break out the feast, scaled down to fit between two pieces of bread. This is a wonderful combination, too. All the parts mix together better than red and green. The thick, soft bread is covered in mayonnaise, which provides a smooth base for the rest of the…

  • Ham & Cheese on pretzel roll

    Ham & Cheese on pretzel roll

    Pepper ham and muenster cheese meet up in the frying pan, just next to two halves of a pretzel roll grilling up perfectly. It’s a throwback to middle school lunch, but with the hip, fresh pretzel roll of today. Balance it out with a healthy snack, some applesauce, and chips. Put it on one of…

  • Ham and Salami on sesame seed bun

    Ham and Salami on sesame seed bun

    This place looks overgrown– overwhelmed with the growth of ivy, vines, and weeds. This sandwich is also overwhelming. So many flavors come together that you may not be able to tell which one is most powerful. Is it the spicy mustard? The genoa salami? Maybe that pepper ham? Or that muenster cheese? Does it really…

  • Ham and Apple on white

    Ham and Apple on white

    Salty ham can be quite delicious, but sometimes just a bit too much. If you pair it with the juicy sweetness of a Granny Smith apple, then you might be able to tip the scales in your favor. White bread is a fine way to contain all this commotion. It’s enough activity that you might…

  • Ham, Turkey, and Cheese on rye

    Ham, Turkey, and Cheese on rye

    It’s just another lunch in a long line of lunches. You get a short break to make the most out of your free time. Put off the errands and make yourself a thick, meaty sandwich. Toasted rye will slightly melt the mayo into your bread, giving it a subtle moistness in the face of all…

  • Gerber sandwich

    Gerber sandwich

    Maybe we caught this sandwich at a bad time. It looks more like ham meets garlic bread, you may think. You’re almost right. A slight glaze of garlic butter should be spread on the bread, then topped with ham, cheese, and paprika. Some will say this is an open face sandwich, but surely we won’t…

  • Croque Madame on wheat

    Croque Madame on wheat

    The croque madame got it’s name from the egg on top, which is said to resemble a ladies hat. It sure doesn’t taste like one. For years, many have mixed their toasted bread with egg yolk, so why not add in the breakfast meat of ham and a bit of cheese? Of course, you can…

  • Croque Monsieur on white

    Croque Monsieur on white

    “Excuse-moi, monsieur. Could you help me change this light bulb, you capable, manly sandwich.” Flattery will get you on the good side of this grilled ham and cheese sandwich. While a genuine French version may be made with bechamel or mornay sauce, a limited American kitchen may have to resort to homemade dijon mustard substitute.…

  • Turkey, Ham, and Bacon on white

    Turkey, Ham, and Bacon on white

    It’s daytime. You’re not at work. Maybe you’re unemployed or sick or just skipping out on the daily grind. Regardless of why you find yourself at home sitting in front of the TV for most of the day, don’t just veg out– meat up with turkey, ham, and bacon. Soft white bread will mold to…

  • Ham and Swiss with garden extras

    Ham and Swiss with garden extras

    Our first guest-submitted portrait is by Phil Bertrand. He includes this delectable image of fresh excess, with black forest ham, fire roasted peppers, Swiss cheese, brown mustard, and fresh greens from the garden (buttercrunch and romaine lettuces). A fine balance of meat and veggie, this photo captures the essence of who we think Phil may…
