20 Reviews of Fried Ham Sandwich

Remarkably delicious for such a simple recipe. The recipe scaled up nicely to 2 large onions and 8 oz of ham. Next time I will brown the ham and onions more aggressively. Another time, I will use regular, leftover ham, pile it on hoagie rolls, top it with shredded mozzarella or provolone, wrap it in foil, and bake it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese — but I suppose that's a different sandwich altogether. :D LOL

    Oh my goodness - I would have signed up to be a nurse if I thought I could get one of these little gems in the nurse's canteen on a daily basis! This is a prime example of simple is often best! I did not do the greaseproof paper and tinfoil thing this time, but I think that would be great if you made them up a little bit before serving and then kept them warm for a while. We both thought that the idea of onions freid with the ham was brilliant - I used lovely "Bridge" rolls for these sandwiches, and we had one and half each!!! Another Classic from the farm that goes into my "Great Snack Attack" recipe file!! Merci Andi for the story of your nursing dasy as much as the canteed style sandwich - just wonderful! FT made for Ms Twissis's PRMR game for Andi.

    Oh my, yet another winner from the farm. DH and I just couldn't believe how yummy such a simple sandwich could be. I used the butter and almost caramelized my (vadalia) onions. Then heated up a slice of leftover honey cured ham with the onions and served on dinner rolls. I had mine with spicy brown mustard and DH had his with the mayo. Unbelievable how good something so simple can be...Thanks again Andi.

    Excellent sandwich, the hospitals I worked at never had a great sandwich like this ham and onion. I followed the recipe to the T, including wrapped in wax paper and then the foil. I think the enclosed heated sandwich really made the bread super soft and the flavors blended. Thanks Andi for a great new sandwich recipe. Made for zaar stars tag.

    These were delicious. The only change I made was to increase the amount of ham...1 oz per serving seemed really light to me, so by the time I was done piling it into the skillet it was probably 2 oz per sandwich. My family loved the retro touch of serving it wrapped in wax paper, although I'm not sure it really changed the flavor...it was a great presentation. Thanks for sharing this great lunch idea.

    An absolutely brilliant sandwich, which everyone should try. Quick to make, deceptively simple and just delightfully, wickedly delicious! Although I was full of high expectations in making this sandwich, I think part of me must have doubted that it could equal Andi's Egg Salad Longmeadow Farm 303423 sandwich, which I absolutely adored when I first made it, and have made several times since. Happily, I was wrong! So I now have two wonderful sandwich recipes, for once again the magic of Longmeadow Farm had me transported to a culinary seventh heaven. I made my super sandwich on my favourite rustic crusty ciabatta, I used low-fat mayonnaise and the optional butter and a top quality ham. Beyond superlatives, Andi! Thanks for sharing another wonderful sandwich recipe!

    I used leftover smoked shoulder slices and what a taste sensation this was! My GF and I both had it smothered with mustard instead of mayonnaise, and put into sub rolls. Simple and easy to prepare, this was one awesome lunch! Thanks. Mike

    Andi, this was love at first bite. Had a big storm that blew through and knocked out the power (electrical only still had gas). Remembering this tag and what you had written about wrapping them in wax paper and foil, I set about making us a light supper while there was still had some day light left to cook with. Had to make on whole wheat rolls as that is what we had on hand. The wrapping in wax paper and foil steamed the rolls to perfection. The fried onions and ham just sent our taste buds straight to heaven, or should I say yummy to the tenth degree. Thanks for a fantastic post and for such a very comforting meal in the middle of a storm.

    From one nurse to another, this is a powerful dose of good eats! Having gone to nuring school in Buffalo in the late 60's my favorite cafe item was the blueberry muffins. This had to be good if a nursing student liked it. Not much in our cafeteria was worth liking. I tried this yesterday and am addictied. The only thing I will do from now on, besides eating tons of hese, is to chop the ham. Thanks for sharing and hope your career was successful..
