Whole grain mustard and some good cheese.

Honey mustard and swiss with arugula on sourdough bread. Ohmy!

mustard.
cheddar cheese.

The one I had just now had Colman's mustard and cranberry sauce on it. I also love the version made with whole grain mustard and thinly sliced cornishons.

spicy mustard, coleslaw, thousand island dressing

whole grain mustard, and swiss cheese, lightly toasted. yum.

The iberico ham at Despana! Awesome!

Or I will use Benton ham, Rey eye gravy, and bread from Momofuku to make a sandwich out of it

The unbelievably great smoked ham I won from D'Artagnan's, on a fresh ciabatta roll, slathered with Hellman's Mayo, good mustard (whole grain, spicy brown or dijon), a slice of swiss or gruyere cheese, and some crispy romaine lettuce. If tomatoes are in season, it gets a nice slice of that, too. Alternative: homemade bread slices slathered with thousand island dressing, a fat slice of ham spread with warm brie and topped with sliced apples.

My other favorite is an open-faced sandwich; slightly toasted homemade bread with butter, an over medium egg, a nice slab of hot apple-smoked ham drizzled with hollandaise sauce and sprinkled with parsley. Egg on bottom so that the bread soaks up any yolk that escapes.

Does prosciutto count? I love a prosciutto panini with truffled cheese, mustard mayo and thinly sliced red onion.

Onion relish, wholegrain mustard, and tomato.

Dijon or wholegrain mustard, cultured butter, on baguette

A horseradish mustard and a slice of swiss on my homemade Kaiser rolls. Nothing like a great ham!

the absolute best sandwich is anything as close to Potbelly's as you can get...so that would mean some kind of melty white cheese (so I can't remember what they use...) and ham toasted together on a whole wheat hoagie bun, then topped with mayo, mustard, italian seasoning, gardinera, tomato, onion, and a pickle. Mmmmm...

Ultra thin slices of wonderful cheese!

I second the Potbelly's. Perfectly toasted with melted Swiss, mayo, mustard, oil, hot peppers, tomato, onion... Mmmmm.

grape jelly! (yes, all my friends think i'm crazy too--don't knock it before you try it)

i love messing with savory and sweet in the same dish. i put all those same sandwich standards (mustard, mayo, onions, pickles, tomatoes) but dress it up a little with some jam or jelly. i've found that grape's the best probably because it's pretty sweet, but i'm sure apple would be delicious too!

I close the grill and put it over a medium flame. The grill has scallop shapes on it, which are seared into the sandwich.

For an everyday ham sandwich, good mustard -- any kind, really... dijon, whole grain, even honey (sometimes) -- is really all that ham needs, on any bread other than basic pre-sliced supermarket white (it gets too gooey and smushed when you bite into it once it's loaded with that mustard -- ew). Although I do LOVE the hammy breakfast sandwich at 'WichCraft with the butter AND the avocado on a crusty french baguette. You wouldn't think anything needs both butter and avocado, but once you have it, you can never go back.
