The ham also takes a quick trip to the griddle to toast in the fat until it's just warm and beginning to brown slightly — be careful not to dry it out. Notes from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen When you assemble the sandwich, make sure to spread the chevre on one side of each bread slice. It not only provides a double dose of creamy, cheesy goodness, but also helps keep all of the other ingredients in place. The richness of the cheese and ham is well-balanced by the preserves and bright, lemony dressed arugula. After you've built the sandwich, you might be tempted to take a bite right away, but don't skip the key step of wrapping it in deli paper before you slice. This isn't just for presentation; it also helps compress the sandwich, another move that locks the ingredients in to prevent slippage. That way, when you finally do take that bite, you'll get a little bit of everything in one mouthful. This sandwich is easy to make and ready in just 15 minutes, so you can definitely pull it off as a weekday lunch or whenever the mood strikes.
