HAM:

  • We use sliced ham because it adds a savory flavor and plenty of protein. As a replacement, you can use turkey, roast beef, or sliced chicken.

PROVOLONE CHEESE:

  • We utilize provolone cheese because it adds a mild, creamy flavor and excellent meltability. As another choice, you could utilize Swiss cheese or mozzarella.

BUTTER:

  • Butter creates a golden, crispy exterior and adds richness. As an alternative, you can use ghee or garlic butter.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • Dijon mustard provides a tangy flavor that complements the ham and cheese.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

  • We use sugar-free Worcestershire sauce to add a deep, savory flavor. As a different option, you might use coconut aminos.
