Elevate your sandwich game with this irresistible Gluten-Free Tosta Mista—a Portuguese-inspired grilled ham and cheese delight made entirely gluten-free! Perfectly golden and crispy, this comforting recipe features gluten-free bread browned in butter, layers of savory ham, and rich, melty cheese (choose from cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite gluten-free option). Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s ideal for busy mornings or a quick lunch that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Whether you’re gluten-sensitive or simply seeking a wholesome alternative, this recipe delivers all the cheesy goodness you love, minus the gluten. Pair it with a crisp salad or enjoy it on its own for a simple yet satisfying meal.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or sandwich press over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of gluten-free butter or margarine on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet or sandwich press.
Layer the ham and cheese evenly on top of the bread slice in the skillet.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich (if using a skillet) and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the cheese is melted and both sides are crispy and golden.
Remove the tosta mista from the skillet or press and let cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally and serving.
