Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (thick slices, such as sourdough or rustic white)
- 8 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
- 1 generous spray Non-stick spray (for foil)
Instructions
Lay out the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice.
Flip the slices over and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the unbuttered sides if desired.
Place a slice of ham on the mustard side of 4 bread slices, followed by a generous portion of cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, ensuring the buttered sides are facing outward.
Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a sandwich. Spray the insides of the foil sheets with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in its own foil packet, folding the edges to seal completely.
Place the wrapped sandwiches directly on the campfire grill grate or on a flat rock near the fire. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, using tongs to carefully flip the packets halfway through. The sandwiches are done when the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
Remove the foil packets from the fire and allow them to cool slightly before unwrapping.
Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, gooey goodness of a campfire sandwich!
