Ham and Swiss cheese sandwich

For years, ham and cheese was my go-to sandwich. But, really, compared to my other sandwiches, it's kind of lacking in anything green. And in volume, if you compare it to my turkey club . Like all of my sandwiches, it's actually a half sandwich. With one slice of Barowski's wheat bread, cut in half. With Dijon mustard.

There's 3.0 oz. of deli ham in this sandwich. Since I use deli ham so infrequently I vacuum seal and freeze it in 3.0 oz portions.

The trickier part is the Swiss cheese. Like most hard cheeses it can be frozen. It does, however, become extremely brittle when defrosted. So pretty much don't expect to separate any slices of bend it after it's defrosted!

My bread is usually frozen so I wrap one slice in plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for a few hours. The ham and Swiss cheese are vacuum sealed so they get defrosted in cold water for a few hours.

I measured the ingredients for a small sandwich this time:

65g ham
10g Swiss cheese
35g French bread
15g potato chips

1 slice of Swiss cheese is 20g, but with enough cut off to fit the bread it drops to 10g.
