Ham, Pepperoni, and Cheddar Tea Sandwiches
These ham, pepperoni, and Cheddar tea sandwiches are bold, savory, and irresistibly satisfying in just a few bites.
Layers of tender ham and zesty pepperoni bring a rich, meaty contrast—mild and smoky meets spicy and robust. White Cheddar cheese adds a sharp, creamy bite that anchors the flavors, while roasted red peppers introduce a touch of sweetness and gentle smokiness that keeps the sandwich balanced and bright.
