Best type of cheese on a ham sandwhich?

Question

So... What's the best type of cheese to use on a ham sandwhich? Its got wheat bread, a small bit of mayo, then ham and lettuce... but what for cheese? I'm torn between Cheddar and Swiss, but if there are others I'm unaware of, please let me know. Please help me with this life-threatening dilemna.

Answer 1

I like ham and Swiss, I would have Cheddar if I was eating turkey.

Answer 2

If it is life threatening, I'd go all out, put 1 slice of each cheese on the sandwich. I wish you good health!

Answer 3

Queso de Papa.  It works on a grilled cheese beautifully.

Answer 4

cheddar

Answer 5

red leicester!

Answer 6

Either way, go Tillamook Cheese. It's the best, hands down.

Personally, I'm a cheddar girl. I love the taste, and how it's much more bold than swiss.

Answer 7

colby jack, but between those two cheddar

Answer 8

I like Swiss cheese with ham. Provolone maybe but I would go with Swiss. I was going to Swiss anyway. You have a good sense of cheese. If that's possible. This is life threatening because it if you have the wrong cheese, you're going to kill your sandwich. I completely understand.

Answer 9

I prefer Swiss. cheese.

it is amazing

cheddar is better in my opinion,

but Swiss is better with ham, if the sandwich is toasted,

but Cheddar is better with a cold sandwich.

Answer 10

I love cheddar, but you could also use provolone or do both!  I use both when I make grilled cheese.

Answer 11

Cheddar!

Answer 12

Try Tillamook extra sharp, Jarlesburg, or Presidente french-swiss.

Answer 13

Definitely Swiss . Swiss cheese is hard and does not crumble when the sandwich has been sitting for a couple of hours in the fridge or your lunchbox.

There is nothing worse than crumbly or plastic bendable cheddar colored cheese.

Ok if you really are a fan of softer cheese, try sliced parmesan, or some Edam, maybe even gouda..

There are plenty of cheeses out there. Be adventurous and try them all.

Answer 14

Tillamook colby jack. makes an awesome ham sandwhich

Answer 15

Baby Swiss...but I prefer White American

Answer 16

ham and swiss is the classic, go with that.

Answer 17

Brie, all the way.

Answer 18

Swiss.  Wow you have a lot of time on your hands.

Answer 19

My mom says (emphatically)

SWISS!

the good stuff, only!

me....I'm allergic to ham! (you luck out,you)

Answer 20

American cheese is pretty good with everything...if you don't have it, use cheddar. You could always use a taste test and see for yourself which one you like

Answer 21

I love swiss or american with ham. may i recommend ranch instead of mayo next time.

kraft ranch has a taste of ranch with a strong mayo taste. it's good on sandwiches, horrible on salads. haha.
