Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) or heat a grill pan over medium heat.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a baking sheet or grill pan.
Layer evenly with sliced cheddar cheese, ham, and tomato slices.
Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Cover each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
If using the oven, bake for about 5 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
If using a grill pan, grill each side for around 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven or grill pan.
Let them cool for a minute, then slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
