11 ham and cheese recipes that prove this simple duo never fails at the dinner table

There are combinations that never fail: bread with tomato, coffee with milk and, of course, ham with cheese. It is a recognizable and always appetizing pair that accompanies us from the snack sandwiches of childhood to the most careful starters of adulthood. The best thing is that it admits infinite versions: melted, battered, au gratin or hidden in a tender dough. A direct and flexible alliance: from the tranchete that melts into a warm omelette roll to the grated cheese that acts as "glue" in a zucchini sandwich.

11 recipes that turn a lifelong combination into an ever-renewed pleasure.

Passionate about cooking and good food, my life revolves around carefully chosen words and wooden spoons. Responsible, yet forgetful. I am a journalist and writer with years of experience, and I found my ideal corner in France, where I work as a writer for Petitchef. I love bœuf bourguignon, but I miss my mother's salmorejo. Here, I combine my love for writing and delicious flavors to share recipes and kitchen stories that I hope will inspire you. I like my tortilla with onions and slightly undercooked :)
