Ham and Parmesan Sandwiches with Jam

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

This recipe for ham and parmesan sandwiches with jam will give you the best and easiest ham and cheese sandwich ever! And it’s even better if you take things just one step further and grill the bread. Sandwich heaven! 

how to make Ham and Parmesan Sandwiches with Jam

Things that are good to have:

  1. Friends who go to Italy and bring you back giant pieces of incredible parmigiana cheese. You know who you are, and giant hugs to you.
  2. Jars of Stonewall Kitchen jam. We’ve been over this before in previous posts, but it bears repeating.
  3. A loaf of crusty bread, either your own homemade version or a loaf from your favorite bakery.

If you have both of these things, you are halfway to a fabulous sandwich. And while cheese that has been personally carried through Customs is the best-tasting of all, you can also get a lovely chunk of it at your local deli and it will be almost as good, and then you are still very close to the previously-mentioned fabulous sandwich.

Hungry for a ham and parmesan sandwich with jam?  Let’s make one…or two!

how to make Ham and Parmesan Sandwiches with Jam

Get a nice pile of very thin-sliced ham (just ask at your deli counter and they will slice it nice and paper thin for you).  Take your loaf of scrumptious bread and slice it on the diagonal in 1/2 inch slices (so that you get nice big slices), and brush both sides with olive oil.  Now comes one of the most critical parts of this sandwich, which is The Grilling Of The Bread.

I am all about grilling bread.  There’s something about that slightly charred grill taste that just makes my heart beat faster.  You ARE going to have that moment where you think, is this really worth turning on the grill?  Just to grill a few pieces of bread?

This recipe for ham and parmesan sandwiches with jam will give you the best and easiest ham and cheese sandwich ever! Click to TweetTrust me.  It is.  (And if by chance you don’t have access to a grill, you can toast it.  You don’t need to go without this sandwich.)

Once you have your bread all nice and crusty, you are five minutes from heaven.  Slather on some raspberry jam (or cherry, or strawberry.  Anything red is pretty much perfect.)  Layer on some thin-sliced ham, and then some parmesan that you have shaved with your handy vegetable peeler.

Hold it up to your nose and inhale deeply…sweet and salty and slightly grill-smelling, and then open wide and take a crunchy/salty/sweet bite.

My work is done here.  :)

    This recipe looks really really good. I'm gonna try it soon as I'm addicted to Parmesan cheese!
    I recently wrote an article on how real Parmesan cheese is made and on its nutritional value. Check it out and let me know your thoughts, I would really appreciated it!

    Yum! And I have a nice wedge of parm in my fridge right now as well as some of my own homemade jam. Just need some really good bread and really good shaved ham.

    Oy. I have ZERO of these two things! How sad is THAT?

    The one day I run out of parmesan cheese, here you go posting this. Tomorrow. I'm hitting the store.

    I have never combined jam with ham and cheese, you have made me curious. I have a huge slab of parmigiano in the fridge… Mmmmm!

    That is such an interesting and delicious combination of flavors, Kate! I would’ve never thought to combine parmesan and jam, but I bet the sweetness of the jam goes really well with the saltiness of the ham and parmesan ;) Thanks for sharing!

    I think very little is more exciting than some fresh Italian parm. It goes in so many things! And this sandwich looks delicious. Now I want a serious sandwich for lunch!
