Notes

Ham Sandwiches Tips
    • Make the honey mustard dip ahead of time! Doing so will let the flavors meld, resulting in a more flavorful spread.
    • If using deli ham, use 5-6 slices. If using thick cut or roast ham, just 1-2 slices is plenty!
    • Any fresh green will work for these sandwiches. You can also use arugula, romaine, or watercress.
    • If you don't like smoked cheese, any creamy cheese will work.
Ham Sandwich Substitutions
    • Bread: You can use any bread you'd like for this recipe, or use your favorite roll or bun! Or, roll the ingredients up in a tortilla for an easy ham wrap.
    • Cheese: Smoked gouda can have a very powerful flavor. For a milder cheese, try mozzarella, plain gouda, swiss, or muenster.
    • Spinach: Pick your favorite fresh green! I like swapping the spinach out for arugula or romaine lettuce depending on what flavors I want.
    • Soy free: If you can't have soy, don't add the Worcestershire sauce to the honey mustard, as it contains trace amounts of soy in the flavoring.
    • Ham: I like using leftover sliced ham from a holiday spiral-cut ham! The thick slices are perfect for sandwiches. However, you can also use deli-style sandwich ham, or even turkey or roast beef.
