For a simple ham and cheese sandwich, I usually go with three slices of ham 🥪

Two slices feel a bit thin, but three give that nice meaty bite without overpowering the cheese. When I was in a tiny café in Bologna, the nonna behind the counter used exactly three thin slices of prosciutto cotto, and it was perfectly balanced.

Usually 2 but it depends on ham. I have often home made smoked ham in one piece and I don't have a cutting machine, just a sharp knife and often those slices a little bit thicker.

How I typically make myself a ham & cheese sandwich:

1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of

3 slices of ham with mayo thinly spread in between each slice of ham and

1 slice of swiss cheese underneath;

all in between 2 thin-sliced buttermilk bread

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Everyone should know it's a 3-1 meat to cheese ratio. So your regular school lunch ham and cheese sandwich will typically get 3 pieces of ham and one slice of cheese.

Now if you get home from school before your parents do like us latch key kids, you still gotta abide by this ratio... EXCEPT... No one is home so you do 6 pieces of ham and 2 pieces of cheese and laugh maniacally while eating it

Massageman · Answer

Depends on the thickness. Wafer thin meats (Buddig, etc) get more, maybe 6-8. If I have made the cuts off of a ham, it might be more like one or two. Cheese? Always one slice of American or cheddar.

Depends how thinly sliced the ham is. The thinner the slices are, the more slices I pile on.

I have not made a sandwich with that kind of ham and cheese in years. I usually make one using crudo, prosciutto or capicola and fresh mozzarella on a baguette or soft Italian bread.

If the meats don’t outweigh all other components of the sandwich combined, feed it to the dog. It’s not fit for human consumption. Ell oh ell! I like to deluxe my sammiches. So my meat stack is usually pretty hefty.
