GRILLED HAM AND LE GRUYèRE



Grilled Ham and Le Gruyère image

Try this easy version of France's classic café sandwich. Using thick slices of sandwich bread and particularly thick slices of Le Gruyère is key. The bread should cook up crusty and toasty, and the cheese should melt and just begin to spill from the edges of the bread.

Time 10m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
4 thick-cut slices whole wheat sandwich bread
2 thick slices Le Gruyère cheese cut lengthwise from a wedge, each 1/4-inch thick and about the same dimensions as the bread
2 slices Black Forest ham

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Brush bread on both sides with butter, then layer a slice of Le Gruyère and a slice of ham between each pair of bread slices.
  • Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook, covered, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip sandwiches and continue to cook until they are browned on the other side and the cheese is thoroughly melted and beginning to ooze out of the bread, 3 or 4 minutes more.

Yield 4 small sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices French bread, each about 1/2-inch thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
4 thin slices good quality ham, such as Black Forest

  • Turn over 4 slices of the bread and spread the unbuttered sides of 2 of the bread slices with the mustard, and the other 2 slices with the honey.
  • For each sandwich, fold 1 ham slice on top of the mustard spread and top with 1/4 of the sliced Gruyere cheese. Cover with the remaining 4 bread slices, making sure that the buttered sides face out. You will have 4 sandwiches.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet. Transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Cook the sandwiches until the cheese has melted and the second side is golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and serve immediately.
