The Best Ham Sandwich You’ll Ever Eat
Creamy goat cheese, spicy jam, salty ham, and peppery arugula are combined in the best ham sandwich you'll ever eat.
Servings: 4 servings (as a meal) 8 servings (as an appetizer)
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette about 30-36 inches
- 6 ounces whipped or extra creamy goat cheese
- 4-6 tablespoons spicy pepper jam
- 2 ounces arugula
- 1 pound deli ham sliced very thin
Instructions
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise, forming two flat halves. Spread the goat cheese on each section of bread.
- Layer arugula on the bottom half and then ham over the greens. Fold and crumple the ham as you layer it on the bread. Form piles of ham across the bread to create the best texture.
- Spoon the jam over the goat cheese on the top half of the bread. Close the sandwich and slice into smaller sections. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you don't happen to be a fan of goat cheese, this sandwich also works well with whipped cream cheese. However, the cream cheese won't have the same depth of flavor as the goat cheese in this sandwich.
My favorite way to make this sandwich is with Cranberry Pepper Jam. If you are able to find it in the store, buy it. However, if you have about 15 minutes, you can make your own!
