Delicious grilled ham and cheese sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain work great)
  • 2 slices of ham (use a smoked variety for extra flavor)
  • 2 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or a combination)
  • 2 tablespoons of butter (for toasting)
  • Optional: mustard or mayonnaise for spreading
  • Optional: additional toppings like spinach or tomato slices

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve that perfect golden crust.
  3. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a thin layer of mustard or mayonnaise if you like. This adds an extra kick!
  4. Layer the ham on top of the spread, followed by the slices of cheese. If you’re adding spinach or tomato, place them now.
  5. Top with the second piece of bread, making sure the buttered side is facing up.
  6. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Flip the sandwich carefully, pressing down slightly with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about another 3-5 minutes.
  8. Once done, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half.
  9. Serve warm, and enjoy this delightful comfort food!
