This recipe brings out the best of crispy bread and gooey cheese with savory ham, making it the ultimate comfort food 🧀

Quick Steps ✨

  • Butter one side of each bread slice.
  • Layer ham and cheese between the unbuttered sides.
  • Grill in a heated pan over medium heat until golden and melty.
  • Flip, grill the other side, and serve!
  • Step by Step Instructions 📝

    1. Prep the bread: Spread the softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This will help create that golden, crispy exterior.

    2. Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread slices. Feel free to add extra cheese for more gooeyness!

    3. Grill the sandwich: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down, and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

    4. Flip and finish: Flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.

    5. Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy it while the cheese is still warm and gooey!
