Ham and cheese with coleslaw

Ham and cheese is a classic of simple and comforting cuisine that has found its place in various cultures throughout Latin America. Its origin dates back to European traditions, particularly French and German, where sandwiches began as a practical and quick way to enjoy fresh ingredients. In Latin American countries, this dish takes on various names depending on the region: in Mexico it is usually called "cemita de jamón y queso", in Colombia it is common to find it as "sandwich de jamón y queso", while in Argentina it is known simply as "sándwich de miga". The coleslaw that usually accompanies this sandwich adds a fresh and crunchy touch, transforming a simple preparation into a complete and delicious option.

This dish combines the softness of the ham with the intense flavor of the cheese, balanced with the fresh and slightly acidic texture of the coleslaw, making this sandwich an ideal choice for quick lunches or snacks. Its popularity lies in the ease of preparation and the versatility of ingredients that can vary according to taste and regional availability.
