Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced white bread
- 2 slices Ham
- 2 slices Cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and let it warm up.
While the pan is heating, spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread buttered-side down onto a plate or cutting board.
Layer 2 slices of ham over the bread, ensuring they are evenly spread.
Place 2 slices of cheese on top of the ham, making sure it covers the ham entirely.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered-side up, to form a sandwich.
Carefully place the sandwich onto the hot frying pan.
Cook the sandwich for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, pressing gently to encourage the cheese to melt fully.
Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the pan.
Allow the sandwich to cool slightly, then slice it in half and serve warm.
