Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces sliced bread
- 50 grams cheddar cheese
- 50 grams ham
- 10 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure the cheddar cheese is grated or sliced thinly.
If desired, spread mustard on one side of each slice of bread for added flavor.
Layer the cheese evenly on one slice of bread, followed by the ham, and top with another layer of cheese. This helps the layers stick together.
Place the second slice of bread on top, ensuring the mustard side is facing inwards if using.
Butter the outside of both slices of bread generously to create a golden, crispy crust when toasted.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bottom side is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, another 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the toastie from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before cutting it in half to serve. Enjoy your delicious cheese and ham toastie!
