Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Ham
- 4 slices Cheese (such as Emmental or Gruyère)
Instructions
Start by spreading about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board or clean surface.
On each slice, lay down two slices of ham, ensuring they cover the bread completely.
Add two slices of cheese on top of the ham for each sandwich, so that cheese covers the ham evenly.
Top each open sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Preheat a skillet or a grill pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot skillet. If your skillet is small, cook the sandwiches one at a time.
Press down gently on the sandwiches with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich to the other side.
Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and the bread is golden and crispy.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two.
Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwiches diagonally in half and serve immediately.
