Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the hot skillet.
Layer the cheddar cheese and ham slices on the bread in the skillet.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice turns golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
Optional: Before serving, spread mayonnaise on the inside of the sandwich for added creaminess, if desired.
Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, and slice in half if preferred. Serve warm.
