02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Add the ham in batches—about a third at a time—and cook for around 15 seconds until it starts to brown lightly. Once done, transfer the ham to a big bowl.

Serve with a side of crisp lettuce or a fresh salad to add some crunch. These sandwiches also pair well with kettle-cooked chips or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. A cold drink like iced tea complements the sweetness nicely.

Storage & leftovers

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator. Eat within two days for the best taste and texture. If possible, keep sauce and bread separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
