Ham Sandwich
A quick deli sandwich layered with smoked cheese, sliced tomatoes, watercress, and a sweet mustard mayonnaise on seeded bread.
Ingredients
- 2 slices seeded bread
- 2 thick slices deli ham about 2 oz / 56 g
- 1 slice smoked cheese about 1 oz / 28 g
- 1 small tomato sliced
- 2 thin slices red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh watercress 10 g
- 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
- Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Spread the honey mustard mayonnaise evenly over one side of each bread slice.
- Place the red onion slices and tomato slices on the bottom piece of bread.
- Season the tomatoes with a pinch of kosher salt.
- Add the smoked cheese slice on top of the tomatoes.
- Fold the ham slices and place them over the cheese, then sprinkle with black pepper.
- Top the ham with the fresh watercress.
- Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, sauce side down, and cut in half to serve.
Notes
Drying the tomatoes prevents the bread from getting soggy if you plan to pack this sandwich for later.
Folding the ham instead of laying it flat creates more volume and a better texture when biting into the sandwich.
If watercress is unavailable, arugula or baby spinach will work nicely as a leafy green substitute.
