Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, 1 minced or grated, 1 cut in half for rubbing bread, optional
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman or white sandwich bread
8 slices emmentaler or Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 ounces thinly sliced leftover or deli ham
1/2 cup cornichons, sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and add the minced garlic. Cook to infuse the garlic flavor into the butter and until the butter turns brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain.
  • Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 1 slice of the cheese, some ham and then some of the cornichons. Top with 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread and brush with butter until fully coated on both sides.
  • Place 2 sandwiches into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. If desired, rub the outside of the toasted bread with the garlic halves to add a little more garlic flavor.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ham and Swiss cheese. Look for ham that is thinly sliced and has a mild, smoky flavor. Swiss cheese should be smooth and creamy, with a slightly nutty flavor.
  • If you don't have a deli slicer, you can thinly slice the ham and cheese by hand. Just be sure to use a sharp knife and slice the meat and cheese as thinly as possible.
  • To make the sandwich even more flavorful, you can add a layer of your favorite spread. Some popular options include mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish.
  • If you're using a Panini press, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to ensure that the sandwich is cooked evenly.
  • Cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately, while it's hot and melty.

The German Ham and Swiss Sandwich is a classic sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, but it's packed with flavor.
