Every summer, I eat no less than a gazillion ham sandwiches. Whether it’s pulled from an overstocked cooler on a rickety fishing boat or the confines of my often fragrant golf bag, the ham sandwich always does me right. With that in mind, my thinking here was simple: If ham, pickles, and chips remain delicious when buried in a cooler, then they’re going to taste spectacular folded into a high-quality butter, spread onto crusty bread, and served with Bread & Butter wine. And when it comes to wine, Bread & Butter's bright, juicy California Pinot Noir and their well-balanced, savory California Chardonnay are the perfect pairings for ham sandwich butter.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 ounce (about ¼ cup) pre-sliced prosciutto, stacked and cut into ¼-inch squares
- 1/4 cup cornichons, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup salted kettle-cooked potato chips (like Cape Cod), crushed, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
