Grilled Ham, Cheese, Pickle, and Potato Chip Sandwich

October 23, 2011 by Joy the Baker 192 Comments

Who am I to tell you how to make a dang sandwich?

I don’t know how much mayonnaise you like to spread on your bread.  I don’t know how spicy you like your mustard.  I don’t know how cheesy you like your situation.  I can’t know how tall you like to stack your ham.

I don’t want to get into your sandwich making business.  It’s a personal thing.  I know.

But!  May I just offer you two humble suggestions?

Pickles and Potato Chips.  Inside.

You knew this was bound to happen.

Typical animal.  Always after the good stuff with his smelling nose.

Grilled ham and cheese is easy .  I don’t have to convince you that it’s a simple and delicious sandwich.  Adding pickles and potato chips is a salty, crunchy stroke of genius.  Enjoy warm, just after grilling, with a hearty handful of potato chips.

Grilled Ham Cheese Pickle and Potato Chip Sandwich

You’ll need:

2 slices of sandwich bread

Dijon mustard

cheddar cheese sliced thin

about 5 thinly sliced pieces of ham

sliced dill pickles

a handful of salted potato chips

1 tablespoon of butter for grilling

What you’ll do:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Spread mustard over both sides of bread.  Top with cheese, ham, pickles, potato chips, and more cheese.

Smash sandwich breads together.  Grill in melted butter on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Slice in half.  Serve immediately before the chips get soggy.

    I love chips in a sandwich! A few years ago I was introduced to (one of) the Ultimate Sandwich: baguette with cream cheese, smoked salmon, black pepper and salt&vinegar chips. It doesn’t have pickles though, and pickles are gooood..

    Chips and french fry sandwiches are awesome on its own, these is the rolls royce version, perhaps best for really special occasions!
