ham and cheese

Deli counter staple

Ham and cheese is a sandwich filling combining sliced ham with cheese, often melted.

The combination appears in countless variations—the croque monsieur, the Cuban sandwich, the hot ham and cheese sub.

It's among the most common sandwich pairings in American cuisine: I'll just grab a ham and cheese for lunch.
