Feel free to mix and match meats for added flavor; a combination of turkey and ham is a crowd-pleaser. Consider adding extra condiments or toppings like crispy fried onions or avocado for variation. For a hot version, broil the sandwich after assembling to melt the cheese and crisp the bread. If you're making this for a party, cut the sandwiches into smaller portions for easy serving.
