grilled ham and cheese sandwich.

Here’s a classic Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich—crispy, gooey, and super satisfying 🥪🧀

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

• 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)

• 2–3 slices of ham

• 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or American)

• 1–2 tsp butter, softened

Optional Add-Ins:

• Dijon mustard or mayo

• Tomato slices

• Pickles

• Caramelized onions

Instructions

1. Assemble the sandwich

1. Butter one side of each slice of bread.

2. Place cheese and ham between the unbuttered sides, forming a sandwich.

3. Add optional ingredients if desired.

2. Cook

• Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.

• Place the sandwich buttered side down.

• Cook 2–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

3. Serve

• Slice diagonally.

• Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or a pickle on the side.

Tips for Perfection

• Use thick-cut bread for a crunchier exterior and softer interior.

• Cover the skillet with a lid for 1–2 minutes while cooking to help melt the cheese thoroughly.

• Mix cheeses for extra flavor—cheddar + mozzarella is amazing.

If you want, I can also give a gourmet version with honey mustard, caramelized onions, and gruyère cheese—it’s next-level indulgent.
