Ham Sandwiches - General Cooking Principles
The easiest way is to grease a piece of bread with any sauce, put a circle of ham on it and, for example, a tomato or cucumber, and sprinkle with grated cheese on top. You can make such an appetizer in a matter of minutes, serving in a cold form, or a little heating, until the cheese is melted, in the microwave or in the oven.
But you can make sandwiches more complicated, which will also become a wonderful decoration of the festive table. The benefit of ham is a meat product that goes well with any ingredients.

Ham Sandwiches - Useful Tips
• To prepare a cold snack or hot sandwiches, you can use absolutely any bread: black, white, whole grain, loaves, baguettes, rolls. The main thing is that the bread should not be sweet, because sweet loaves are not particularly combined with meat ham and possible vegetables.
• If you don’t have a piece of bread at hand, and you want a snack, use dry biscuits, thin non-sweet shortbread cookies, croquettes to make sandwiches.
• You can add any ham sandwich, especially if it has cheese, with chopped fried walnuts, which will give the dish more satiety and an interesting taste.
• When using tomatoes to make sandwiches, make sure that they are not too watery, otherwise the snack will spread.
• Also note that the sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup and other lubricating ingredients must not be too liquid, otherwise they will soak into the crumb and sandwiches, whether they are cold or hot, will turn out to be wet.
• If you want hot sandwiches, but you don’t want to heat the oven, and you don’t have a microwave, use the multicooker. It is enough to withstand sandwiches in the "Baking" 7 minutes.
• Do not be afraid to experiment with toppings for sandwiches: along with ham, you can put eggs, tomatoes, fresh or pickled cucumbers, olives, olives, any kind of cheese, sweet and hot peppers, spices, seasonings, all kinds of greens.
