Questions

Can I make Ham and Mustard Sandwich dairy-free?

Can I make Ham and Mustard Sandwich gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 slices white bloomer bread. Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Ham and Mustard Sandwich keep?
