Hot Ham & Provolone Sandwich

Eating With EricaEWE March 25, 2018August 23, 2026 Lunch

I don’t know about you, but after Easter, I always have lots of leftover ham and turkey breast. I am always torn over what to do with my Easter leftovers. This year I decided to keep it simple. I created an effortless Hot Ham and Smoked Provolone Cheese Sandwich recipe using Honey Baked Ham.

You can use turkey breast instead of ham for this recipe, depending on your meat preference. I used delicious ham and turkey breast, both from HoneyBaked Ham. What made this sandwich really tasty is that it was baked. I put ham, cheese, and ciabatta in the oven prior to adding my fresh toppings, and it made all the difference in the world. The cheese was hot and melty and the ciabatta bread was hot and soft.
