Step 1:
How to make a ham and cheese sandwich? Prepare the products. Take a special square bread for toast — it will be more convenient to make a sandwich with it, and the sandwich itself will turn out more beautiful. Although it will be delicious with a regular loaf. Calculate the amount of ham, tomato and lettuce depending on their size.
Step 2:
First of all, toast the slices of bread. Do it either in a toaster or in a grill pan, like me. Fry in a dry frying pan until the stripes appear.
Step 3:
Wash the lettuce leaves well and dry them with a paper towel. They should not be wet, otherwise the bread will get wet and become not tasty. Take any kind of salad — ordinary leafy, iceberg, frieze, arugula, etc.
Step 4:
Wash the tomato and cut it into thin slices. You can also take other vegetables — fresh or pickled cucumbers, bell peppers.
Step 5:
Smear one piece of bread with mayonnaise. You can make mayonnaise yourself. Or take other sauces instead — ketchup, mustard, any salad or their mixtures.
Step 6:
Put salad leaves on the bread. I could fit two small ones.
Step 7:
Put the tomato slices on the leaves.
Step 8:
The next layer is ham. In addition to ham, any boiled or smoked sausage or meat is suitable. If you are not using ready-made slicing, then try to cut the ham as thinly as possible. And put the salad leaves again.
Step 9:
Place portions of melted cheese on top. Or any other one that you like or have available. The main thing is that it is delicious.
Step 10:
Cover everything with a piece of bread. Lightly press the sandwich on top.
Step 11:
Traditionally, sandwiches are cut diagonally to make them convenient to eat. You can not cut it, but eat it whole. Bon appetit!

The sandwich turned out to be very tasty, with crispy bread, a fresh note of vegetables and spicy mayonnaise.
You can take absolutely any bread for a sandwich, it will turn out very tasty with grain, with ciabatta, even buns like panini will do. You can fry it both at the very beginning of cooking, and after, when the finished sandwich is fried in a frying pan or on the grill.
Instead of mayonnaise, any sauce you like will do - tomato, cheese, sweet and sour, mustard-honey, yogurt. You can use melted or curd cheese instead of sauce.
Also choose any vegetables: fresh cucumbers, salted cucumbers, bell peppers, olives, onions, any kind of lettuce and greens.
The meat component can also be varied. Ham, as in my version, or assorted smoked sausages, boiled sausage, bacon. It can also be chicken, turkey, or just baked meat.
If you choose hard cheese instead of melted, it is better to fry the sandwich at the end so that the cheese melts.
In addition to meat sandwiches, there are many other options - with fish, with hummus, with mushrooms, but that's another story.

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
