HAM AND JAM SANDWICH



Ham and Jam Sandwich image

Nothing can compare to jambon-beurre, the iconic Parisian sandwich, which is really just a baguette with salted European butter and unsmoked ham. This rendition expands on that perfect trinity with a few additional pantry ingredients: Jam plays well with ham (like in a Monte Cristo), and Dijon and black pepper bring spice and spirit. Smoked ham adds yet another layer of savoriness, but any thinly sliced ham will work. The result is a hearty, complex but still delicate meal, appetizer or pick-me-up. While ham and jam sandwich doesn't roll off the tongue quite like jambon-beurre, you have permission to call it a ham-jam-sam, if you like.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 baguette (about 20 to 24 inches long)
4 tablespoons salted or unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup fruit jam or preserves, such as cherry, peach or orange
8 ounces sliced ham, preferably smoked or Black Forest
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the baguette into four equal pieces by cutting the baguette in half crosswise, then cutting each half in half. Slice each piece through the middle to split it. Arrange the pieces cut-side up.
  • Spread butter on the tops and bottoms of each quarter. If using unsalted butter, sprinkle lightly with salt. Spread Dijon on one side and jam on the other. Pile the ham on the bottom pieces, then season with black pepper. Top the sandwiches and press firmly. Wrapped and refrigerated, the sandwich will keep for up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter sandwich. Unripe bananas will be too starchy and not as flavorful.
  • If you don't have any ham on hand, you can substitute cooked bacon, sausage, or even leftover chicken or steak.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Swiss, and provolone are all good choices.
  • Spread some butter or mayonnaise on the bread before adding the fillings. This will help to keep the sandwich from getting dry.
  • Grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a griddle until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately, while it's hot and crispy.
