A traditional Cuban sandwich packs roast pork and thinly sliced ham. We've switched it up a bit, subbing in leftover ham and turkey. For best results, use two cast-iron skillets or a sandwich press.
Mini Ham Sandwiches

Hawaiian Ham Sandwiches
With the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors, these Hawaiian Ham Sandwiches are sure to be crowd-pleasers. Serve them during the holidays or during a football party–they are great for any occasion.
Grilled Ham, Muenster, and Spinach Sandwiches
Spinach offers a vitamin-rich alternative to lettuce in this sandwich. Chowchow is a mustard-flavored mixed vegetable and pickle relish available on the condiment aisle. Often served alongside pork and cooked greens, here it adds a subtle tang that complements the ham and spinach.
Prep: 7 minutes; Cook: 4 minutes
Ham and Mustard Crostini
For an elevated spin on classic ham sandwich, top your next crostini with thinly sliced prosciutto (or ham), cream cheese spread, your favorite mustard-mayonnaise sauce, and chive sprigs for a fresh, open-faced toast that are perfect for entertaining.

Ham and Mushroom Quesadillas
Serve these quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Flip them gently so that the filling stays inside. You can keep the quesadillas warm by placing them in the oven at the lowest setting.
Nuevo Cubano
This update on a traditional Cuban sandwich adds a spicy black bean spread and sweet mango, which balances the salty ham. If mango isn't your thing, use low-acid tomatoes.
Prosciutto and Gruyere Strombolis
This is no ordinary ham and Swiss. This five-ingredient recipe comes together quickly to yield a tasty Italian sandwich.
Pear-Prosciutto Toast
We fancified the classic ham and cheese sammy with prosciutto, Swiss, and pear. Fig preserves provide the can't-quite-place-it sweetness that elevates this toast; you can sub 1/2 teaspoon honey.
Hoi An-style Oven-crisped Pork Sandwich (Banh Mi Thit Hoi An)
Notes: This sandwich is a specialty of Hoi An, a charming old fishing village in central Vietnam. Its interplay of textures - cold cuts (pork loin, ham, or chicken; home-cooked or purchased), ground pork, greens, and cucumbers - is distinctive. Choose a sweet baguette with a light, slightly soft interior and thin, crisp crust. You can assemble the sandwiches through step 2 up to 1 hour ahead; cover loosely and let stand at room temperature.
Grilled Ham-and-Cheese Sandwiches with Strawberry-Shallot Jam
Use roasted turkey instead of ham, if you prefer.
