Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

posted on: Thursday, April 22, 2010

Everyone has a favorite type of sandwich. My husband likes eggs in all of his. My mom likes olives. My son likes butter and jelly. I'm a fan of warm over-the-the-top melted cheese sandwiches. A couple weeks ago when it was chilly and everyone was cranky for a very good reason, I'm sure, I decided to make some melted cheese and ham sandwiches in the oven. This is the ultimate comfort food.

Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwich
  • 12 slices whole wheat white bread
  • 2 cups alfredo sauce
  • cream cheese
  • 8 slices chedder cheese
  • 8 slices thick cut ham
  • freshly grated romano cheese
  1. preheat oven to 350*
  2. Place the Alfredo sauce on a large casserole pan with the slices of bread. Make sure the bread absorbs the sauce well.
  3. On a medium casserole pan layer a slice of bread, cream cheese, a slice of chedder cheese, a slice of ham and another slice of bread. Repeat a second time and add romano cheese on top. 
  4. There is enough to make 4 large sandwiches.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese if fully melted. 
  6. serve warm.
enjoy!

  3. Like it, like it! Baking these is a great idea because they get that nice crust on the bread.

  7. Hi sugar plum fairy (I never in a million years thought I would be writing to the sugar plum fairy, I like it) I have never made goiabda but have seen other make it. It seriously takes hundreds of goiabas to make the thick goiabada. How many of these puppies do you have?

  8. This is very similar to a croque monsieur, baked instead of fried. They are amazing, so I am sure this is delicious too.
