Preparation
To prepare the meat sandwiches with ham and cheese…
In a bowl, place the ground pork, veal, and beef, season with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and mix.
Divide the meat into two equal parts. Roll out half of the meat on a sheet of parchment paper with a rolling pin, forming a rectangle (or square), about 1/4 inch thick.
Fill the rectangle (or square) of ground meat with slices of cooked ham and Edam cheese then cover the surface with the other half of the remaining meat, sealing the edges well and even it out by pressing it with the rolling pin.
Finally, cut the rectangle (or square) of meat, ham, and cheese in half, cut it lengthwise and then again horizontally, obtaining 4 rectangles. Inside each rectangle, create two triangles.
Now that the meat sandwiches are ready, you can cook them in a pan for about 5 minutes with a little extra virgin olive oil, turning them on each side.
Then serve them hot, with the side dish you prefer.
Variation
If you prefer, you can use only one type of meat, even chicken or turkey.
Advice
If you have many to cook or prefer not to use oil, you can bake them in a convection oven.
