The Panhandle Sandwich is a beloved regional classic that combines tender shaved ham and melted cheese inside a toasted French roll. The star of this sandwich is the rich, savory sauce made from blending softened margarine with prepared mustard and Worcestershire sauce. This mixture creates a creamy, tangy spread that soaks into the bread and complements the salty ham perfectly. Freshly chopped green onions add a necessary crunch and sharp bite to cut through the richness. It’s an easy, comforting meal that feels indulgent yet comes together quickly, making it ideal for busy weeknight dinners or casual weekend lunches. The toasted bread provides a satisfying texture contrast to the soft, gooey interior, creating a hearty bite that satisfies any craving for classic deli-style flavors.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the softened margarine, prepared mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined to create the sandwich spread.
  2. Slice the French-style rolls in half lengthwise and spread a generous layer of the mustard-margarine mixture on the cut sides of both halves.
  3. Arrange the shaved ham slices on the bottom halves of the rolls, then top with slices of Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese.
  4. Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions over the cheese and ham.
  5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the cheese is fully melted and the second side is toasted.
  7. Remove from heat, slice diagonally if desired, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
