Instructions:
- Ensure you have all ingredients ready. Slice or shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-sliced.
- Spread the butter evenly on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread. Make sure the butter is softened to ensure easy spreading.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate.
- Layer the slice of ham on top of the bread.
- Add the cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
- Cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the preheated pan.
- Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Keep a close eye to ensure the bread doesn't burn. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan using a spatula.
- Let it cool for a minute or so before cutting it in half to serve.
- Enjoy your delicious grilled ham and cheese sandwich!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is softened to spread evenly on the bread, preventing tears and ensuring an even, golden crust.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for an even cook and to prevent sticking.
- Cook on medium heat to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread.
- Press the sandwich lightly with a spatula as it cooks to ensure even heat distribution and help fuse the ingredients together.
- For added flavor, try adding a slice of tomato or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs to the filling.
Enjoy your Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich hot from the pan, with the gooey cheese oozing out and the crispy bread providing the perfect crunch. This timeless sandwich is sure to become a favorite for its delightful blend of flavors and textures.
