Ham and Swiss Sandwich with Apples Tips

Should you use salted or unsalted butter to make a ham and Swiss sandwich with apples?

It doesn’t matter whether you use salted vs. unsalted butter in this sandwich—though sometimes it does for other recipes. The nutrition facts are based on salted butter. If you chose unsalted, there’d be a bit less sodium.

What kind of apple should you use to make ham and Swiss sandwiches?

Braeburn, Fuji and Golden Delicious apples are some go-to picks for sandwiches. Learn more about the different apple types and where each shines, from apple pie to apple butter.

How can you make a ham and Swiss sandwich with apples your own?

Use your favorite bakery bread instead of Texas toast. Omit the mustard, or use a fig jam instead. Layer on sliced pear or Asian pear (a cross between an apple and a pear) instead of apples. Take inspiration from more of our hot sandwich recipes!
