Grilled Ham And Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Learn how to make the best grilled ham and cheese sandwich around. A delicious, hot sandwich filled with melted cheese and ham.
Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 3-4 slices deli ham
- 4 slices cheese Use your favorite sliced cheese.
Instructions
- Begin by spreading butter on one side of each slice of bread. Remember, spread the butter all the way out to the crust.
- Lay one of the slices of bread, butter side down, in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place 2 pieces of cheese and then slices of ham. Top with remaining 2 cheese slices.
- At this point, if you are adding something else like mustard, onions, or pickles, do that now. Top with the remaining slice of bread, putting the butter side up.
- Cook that sandwich until the bottom starts to turn golden brown. (I like to place a lid on the skillet for a minute to help the cheese completely melt.) Use a spatula to flip the sandwich to cook the other side until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes
-
- Heat - Don't have the heat up too high. You want to cook over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt.
-
- Cheese - If you are using smaller bread, you can reduce the cheese to 2 slices. If you want to help the cheese melt faster, place a lid on the skillet while cooking.
-
- Butter - Make sure the butter is softened before spreading. This will help it easily spread over the sliced bread.
