Classic Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
• 2-3 slices of ham
• 1-2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread: Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread. If you like mustard, spread it on one slice of bread over the mayonnaise.
2. Add the Ham and Cheese: Place the ham slices on one of the bread slices. Layer the cheese slices on top of the ham.
3. Add the Vegetables: Place the lettuce leaves and tomato slices on top of the cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down.
5. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.

Variations:

• Turkey and Avocado Sandwich: Substitute the ham with turkey slices and add avocado slices.
• Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Use only cheese and grill the sandwich in a skillet with butter until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
• Veggie Sandwich: Skip the meat and add more vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, and sprouts.

Feel free to get creative with different meats, cheeses, and toppings to make the sandwich your own. Enjoy your meal
