Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread
- 2 slices Ham
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread. If desired, spread mayonnaise on the other side of each slice for added flavor.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the hot skillet.
Layer the cheese slices onto the bread, followed by the ham slices.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom slice of bread turns golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
