This delectable sandwich combines the earthy flavors of whole wheat bread with the savory notes of ham and the creamy richness of Monterey cheese.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lay out the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread on a clean countertop or cutting board.
- Thinly slice or grate the Monterey cheese if it’s not already pre-sliced.
- Place the slice of ham on top of one slice of the bread.
- Evenly distribute the Monterey cheese over the ham.
- Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Spread half of the butter (3/8 tbsp) on the outer side of one slice of bread.
- Flip the sandwich and spread the remaining butter on the other side.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to become hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the sandwich in the preheated skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Gently flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Let it cool for a minute or two, which allows the cheese to set slightly for easier cutting.
- Slice the sandwich diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Select fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- For an extra crisp texture, let the bread slices out for a few minutes before grilling.
- Use a preheated skillet or griddle for even cooking.
- Butter the outer sides of the bread evenly to achieve a golden brown crust.
- Press down gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure the sandwich holds together and the cheese melts perfectly.
- Consider adding a pinch of seasoning, such as a touch of garlic powder or a sprinkle of herbs, for added flavor.
- Let the sandwich rest for a couple of minutes after grilling to allow the cheese to settle and prevent it from spilling out when you cut it.
Your Grilled Ham and Monterey Cheese Sandwich is now ready to serve. Golden, crispy, and oozing with melted cheese, this sandwich is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy it with a side of fresh salad or a warm bowl of soup for the perfect meal.
