Ham and Cheese? Like Apple Pie.
Ham and cheese sandwiches are a staple in my house. All of my children love them - in all variations. Today, I wanted to share a couple of different twists on the ham and cheese sandwich theme, and incorporate some yummy veggies at the same time!
Ham and Cheese Wraps
Sliced ham
Sliced cheese
Broccoli crowns, chopped (cooked or not, your preference)
Flour tortilla
If your kids are into mustard (mine aren’t, except on pretzels), spread mustard over the flour tortilla. Layer the ham and cheese and lightly pile chopped broccoli in the middle. Roll tightly and microwave until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds. Presto, a yummy wrap!

Ham and Cheese Panini
2 slices bread (I like multigrain)
Cheese (try provolone or fontina)
Sliced ham (or give prosciutto a whirl)
Baby spinach
Olive oil or butter
Panini is Italian, more or less, for sandwich. You can make these sandwiches on a panini grill if you have it (that’s how you get the nifty grill marks) or just use a regular grill or skillet.
Assemble your sandwich with ham, cheese and baby spinach leaves. Brush the sandwich with olive oil or rub with butter. Grill your sandwich until the outsides are toasted and the cheese has melted. Buon appetito!

Mediterranean Ham and Cheese
4 slices bread (the heartier, the better - this is a substantial sandwich!)
Sliced ham
Sliced cheese (mild is best, like mozzarella or provolone)
Roasted Red Peppers
Black Olives, chopped
Artichoke hearts, quartered
Baby spinach
Few mushrooms, sliced
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute mushrooms until tender, put aside.
Assemble sandwich by layering ham and cheese on a slice of bread. Top with red peppers, olives, artichoke hearts, spinach and sauteed mushrooms. Press bread slice on top. Brush tops of bread with olive oil and wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese has melted.
