How to Make Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information. For this sandwich, you’ll need a loaf of French bread, smoked ham (or you can use slices of a baked ham), smoked cheese, and lettuce. For the sandwich spread, you’ll need softened butter, Dijon mustard, onion, and Worcestershire sauce (or coconut aminos). Serve this simple hot ham and cheese sandwich on a loaf of French bread with my husband’s favorite broccoli slaw, grapes, chips, and water. Delish! Here’s my Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe, along with my menu for a perfect picnic.
Broccoli Slaw stored in a Mason jar with a fork tied on with butcher string or wrapped in napkins. Grapes that have been cleaned but are still on the vine for a more casual feel. Water or Fresh Lemonade sealed tightly and packed with enough cups for your picnic-ers.
Tips
Keep it simple. Whether your picnic is a planned event or a last minute thought, keep your picnic plans simple. The less fuss, the more enjoyable it will be for you and everyone else. That tip goes for everything in life, really. Grab a large basket and line it with fresh linens. If your basket doesn’t have a lid, utilize additional linens to cover the contents to keep everything fresh. Stay cool. If you are traveling a distance before you’ll be eating your picnic, consider including an ice pack sealed inside of a zip top bag to keep the contents of your picnic cool. Clean up. Remember you’ll need to keep your picnic area clean and leave it even tidier than you found it. Pack a few paper bags in the bottom of your basket to use for clean up after the picnic. Have fun. Along with keep it simple, remember to have fun. Enjoy the fresh air, scenery, and the company during your picnic. Relish the moment!
