Pick up the edge of the waxed paper to roll the flattened meat up into a log. Remove waxed paper, seal the ends and seam, and place the loaf into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Buy the best ham, chicken, and cheese you can find.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before assembling the sandwiches. You can use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality bread that will hold up well to being grilled or toasted. A sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread is a good choice.
  • Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of the sandwiches before grilling or toasting them. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Cordon Bleu melts are a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken or ham. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new sandwich to try, give Cordon Bleu melts a try. You won't be disappointed!
