Fried Ham Sandwich Recipe #272233
I was in the nursing profession many years ago. When we were allowed to take a lunch break, I would go to the hospital cafeteria and order up one of these sandwiches. Of course, the cafeteria chefs had a "seasoned grill" that showed years and years of delectable delights. They even had special spatulas that you could easily imagine the pounding and flipping going on in the air, as somehow this made the food taste even more spectacular. To this day I still make these at home, occasionally for lunch or a quick dinner. After the cafeteria chefs put this yummy sandwich together they would wrap it in (1) wax paper (2) then aluminin foil. By the time you got to your table, the tastes had developed and probably steamed in the combination of wax paper and foil. Either way, I guess these magical chefs will never be forgotten as this made my day complete, every single day. I hope you enjoy this sandwich as much as I. Try the wax paper and foil too, if you have time.....you will see what I'm talking about.
