Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices per sandwich Bread (white, wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 slices per sandwich Ham (thinly sliced)
- 1 slice per sandwich Cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon per sandwich Butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon per sandwich Mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 teaspoon per sandwich Mustard (optional)
Instructions
Place the slices of bread on a clean work surface.
If using, spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and mustard on the other.
Lay the slices of ham evenly on one piece of bread.
Place the cheese slice on top of the ham.
Top with the second slice of bread to assemble the sandwich.
Spread softened butter evenly on the outer sides of both slices of bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing lightly with a spatula until the bread is golden and toasted.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
