Sandwiches can make a great quick meal or snack.
They don’t have to be plain, though.
Here is a couple of easy sandwiches to make that
taste fantastic. The Reuben is a classic and the
Ham is a little different but real good.
Speaking of ham sandwiches, growing up it was common
to be able to go into any deli or dinner and order a half and half
sandwich. Now adays with very few exceptions when I ask for one
I just get a strange look. Do you know what a half and half is?
The answer is at the bottom of this post.
REUBEN SANDWICH
8 slices pumpernickel or dark bread
1/2 lb. thinly sliced corned beef
1 (8 oz.) can well drained sauerkraut
2 tbsp. Thousand Island dressing
4 sliced Swiss cheese
Toast bread and arrange four slices on paper plates. Top each slice with corned beef, then sauerkraut, salad dressing, and cheese. Top with other slices of bread. Cook uncovered 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
SUPER HAM SANDWICHES
1 stick margarine
1/4 c. mustard
1/4 c. minced onion
1 lb. shaved deli ham
1 lb. Mozzarella cheese, sliced
3 pans ready to serve finger rolls
Saute onion in margarine. Add mustard. Split each pan of rolls and brush both sides with mixture. Layer on cheese and ham. Return to roll pan and cover with foil. Heat in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. Cut into individual sandwiches.
Half and Half
This is the easiest of the sandwiches to make, but could
arguably be the best. The key to this one is using fresh rye bread
and very thinned sliced ham. Oh yea, use good mustard, not that yellow stuff.
Fresh Rye bread
thin sliced ham
thin sliced swiss cheese
brown mustard
Spread mustard on two slices of rye bread.
Pile on the ham, at least an inch thick.
Pile on the swiss cheese, around as much as the ham.
Put the top slice of rye bread on the sandwich, cut in half and enjoy the bliss.
