I never eat ham because it's too 'plain'.

I normally eat roast beef & mustard or turkey breast & mayo.

So... what do I put in a ham sandwich? Ketchup? Mayo? I also have provolone.

Get some swiss and rye bread and throw a little spicy brown mustard on it.

Ketchup? Really? Ketchup?

How could anyone even suggest ketchup on a ham sandwich?

It's gotta be spicy brown mustard, grainy mustard or dijon mustard, with the lettuce, mayo and provolone.

Add all the other stuff but use both .

Ham, cheese, mustard, mayo, lettuce and tomato on Rye or Oat Bran.
Ham and cheese with grape jelly on Polish Baka bread.
Ham, cheese, mayo, and Bread and Butter Pickles on any good bread.

Chopped ham fried with egg, cheese and boiled Potatoes. Big plus for Bacon grease.

microwave the ham a bit, then put the cheese on the ham and let it melt.

Start with the basic setup:

Fresh bread of your choice
Mayo (or miracle whip if you like that)
fresh, juicy ham (not dry)
Crisp, fresh, lightly chilled lettuce

See how you like it and experiment from there.

mustard and mayo are the 2 obvious choices

i prefer Swiss or cheddar with ham, but TBH any cheese you like will work

any bread thats not plain white bread will also work,

typically i just put lettuce onion and pickle on mine, however if im going all out ill pull out the sprouts and greek olives as well

First rule: forget the bread. Bread is dead. In that one easy step you've made whatever sandwich you are preparing a gazillion times better.

Ham
Mayo
Butter
Pickles
Cheese, pretty much any non-moldy cheese will do

Put the other stuff on the ham on a plate and enjoy.

Mustard, tomato, fresh basil, and your favorite cheese. On rye.

Put butter (garlic butter? everything's better with garlic...) on the outside of the bread and then grill it.

Serve with side salad and beer.
