1 oz cheddar cheese
A ham and cheese sandwich is a classic and satisfying choice for a quick and easy meal. This version, featuring whole-wheat bread, fresh lettuce, creamy mayonnaise, and sharp cheddar cheese, offers a balanced mix of flavors and textures. It's perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
Instructions:
- Make sure your lettuce is washed and dried.
- If you haven't already, slice or shred your cheddar cheese.
- If you prefer a toasty texture, lightly toast the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread in a toaster or in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. This step is optional.
- Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing onto one side of each slice of bread using a knife.
- Place the 4 slices of ham evenly on one of the slices of bread, on top of the mayonnaise.
- Place the 1 oz of cheddar cheese evenly on top of the ham. If the cheese is shredded, spread it out; if it is sliced, place the slices so they cover the ham.
- Place the 1/2 cup of lettuce on top of the cheese. Adjust the amount to your preference for extra crunch and freshness.
- Take the other slice of bread (with mayonnaise side facing in) and place it on top of the lettuce, pressing gently to hold the sandwich together.
- Slice the sandwich diagonally or straight down the middle, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality whole-wheat bread for added fiber and flavor.
- For a healthier option, you can use reduced-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise.
- Lightly toast the bread if you prefer a crunchy texture for your sandwich.
- Add a slice of tomato or some pickles for an extra burst of flavor.
- Ensure the lettuce is fresh and crisp by washing it thoroughly and patting it dry before adding it to the sandwich.
