Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Use your favorite unsliced loaf of bakery bread in this easy recipe. I prefer a garlic sourdough, with a nice chewy crust.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. loaf sourdough bread, unsliced
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
  • 8 thin slices cooked ham
  • 8 thin slices cooked chicken
  • 16 thin slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow summer squash, thinly sliced

Preparation:

Slice loaf into 16 equal slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaf. In a small bowl, combine butter, mustard and horseradish. Spread every other slice of the bread with this mixture, beginning with first slice, so the coated slices are facing each other. Imagine cutting the loaf to make sandwiches, and that will help you figure out which sides of the bread slices to coat.

Fill the coated slices with one slice of ham, one slice of chicken, one slice of cheese and some of the green pepper and squash slices. Wrap well in plastic wrap and chill. To serve, cut between unfilled slices to form sandwiches. Serves 8
