Simply Ham & Cheese Allergen Information

Health Canada priority allergens

Tim Hortons does not publish an allergen breakdown for the Simply Ham & Cheese. Nothing is listed here rather than guessing, so treat this item as unconfirmed and ask staff before ordering.

Every Tim Hortons kitchen handles wheat, milk, egg, soy, sesame and nuts in the same space, so cross contamination is possible on any item even where an allergen is not declared. Anyone with a serious allergy should confirm at the restaurant. Full lists sit on the nutrition and allergen page.

How to Make Simply Ham & Cheese at Home?

Ham and cheese at $3.49, no egg. Two ingredients on toasted bread, and the only way to make it interesting is to fold the ham rather than lay it flat.

Method

0 of 4 steps

1. Fork split and toast the muffins, buttering them while hot.
2. Warm the ham for 30 seconds in a dry pan — cold ham on hot bread never melts the cheese properly.
3. Lay the cheese on the bottom half, then ruffle the warm ham on top rather than laying it flat.
4. Close and leave it 30 seconds so the cheese softens through.

Tips

Ruffle the ham. Folded and loose it has texture; laid flat it is a wet sheet that slides out.
Warm the ham first. It is the only heat in this sandwich.
A little grainy mustard is worth it in a build this plain.

Variations

Add egg for a full breakfast sandwich at $4.29.
Simply BLT instead at $3.99.
Grilled Cheese Melt from the <a href="/tim-hortons-sandwiches-menu/">sandwiches menu</a> at $5.99.

Serving Ideas

One of the cheapest hot items on the menu.
It reheats better than any egg build, which makes it the practical takeaway choice.

Simply Ham & Cheese Questions

No — the Simply range is built without egg, which is why it costs less than the standard breakfast sandwiches.
