Deviled Ham Sandwich

[heart_this] · Apr 3, 2010 · 25 Comments

Deviled Ham Sandwich

While I was looking for deviled egg recipes I came across the concept of a deviled ham sandwich which was perfect timing as I had a bunch of leftover ham on hand. A deviled ham sandwich is essentially a ham salad bound with mayo. The deviled part comes from the fact that it is spiked with the heat of a hot sauce and spicy mustard. As with any mayo salad, you can add pretty much anything you like and I kept this one nice and simple with some sweet and pungent red onion in addition to the staples and I added a bit of smokiness with some smoked paprika. The deviled ham sandwich was so good! You really can’t go wrong with salty ham bound with mayo and the fiery heat of a chili hot sauce. I dressed the sandwich up with some lettuce and sliced pickles. With the deviled ham that I had left over I tried a ‘melt’ version of the sandwich which if pretty much just the grilled cheese version and the melted gooey cheese version was even better!

    When I was a kid we could buy tinned devilled ham and it was my favourite sandwich. This is much better! Great idea.

    Kevin, that deviled ham looks outrageously delicious! I think mayo and a dash or two of hot sauce can make most things delicious! The one with the gooey cheese is over the top! Love it!

    I made this for lunch today, obviously at work we can't grill it up. But the non-grilled version was tasty! Thank you for sharing, I loved the kick of the spice!
