Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sliced bread
- 3 slices sliced deli ham
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outside of your sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy texture.
If desired, spread mustard and/or mayonnaise on the unbuttered sides of the bread for added flavor.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
Layer the deli ham evenly on top of the unbuttered side of the bread, followed by the slices of cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Carefully place the sandwich into the preheated sandwich press. Close the press gently, ensuring not to overly compress the sandwich.
Cook for about 3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Carefully remove the sandwich from the press using a spatula, as it will be hot.
Let the sandwich cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving. Enjoy your perfectly toasted homestyle ham and cheese sandwich!
