GRILLED HAM AND SWISS SANDWICH WITH GRILLED ONIONS ON TOAST
This is a favorite I made up while working in my family's restaurant in New Orleans. I got tired of the same ole' stuff on the menu so had fun with making this. I even served it to my favorite customers if they asked real nice!

Steps:
- First, grill your onions to your liking in a pan with a small amount of oil. Put aside.
- Wash lettuce and have your sandwich fillings ready for assembly.
- On a hot plate, skillet, etc., place one slice of ham down, followed by swiss cheese, then the other slice of ham (if you use the long slices of ham, they will wrap around the cheese quite nicely). The cheese should be as protected from the pan as much as possible. You want to heat on a medium/high heat and flip this after a minute or two so the top side gets a turn down on the pan. But don't cook this too long as it will make the meat tough and the cheese will melt and leak out all over the place. Just heat until meat is slightly brown on top and bottom and the cheese has mostly melted.
- While meat and cheese are cooking, place 2 slices of bread in toaster. When done, add mayo and/or mustard to toast and place ham/cheese on bottom slice of toast. Top with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add top piece of toast, slice sandwich on the diagonal, throw on a plate with some potato chips and get busy (all the while wondering why you didn't go ahead and make that second one while you were at it!) -- back to the kitchen. These things ARE addictive. You've been warned!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for thick-cut ham, flavorful Swiss cheese, and a soft, crusty bread.
- Spread condiments evenly: When spreading condiments on the bread, make sure to do so evenly. This will help prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy or dry in spots.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Swiss cheese is the star of this sandwich, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A thick layer of cheese will make the sandwich gooey and delicious.
- Grill or toast the bread: Grilling or toasting the bread will add a nice crispy texture to the sandwich. This is especially important if you're using a soft bread, as it will help prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately: Ham and Swiss sandwiches are best served immediately after they're made. The bread will be crispy, the cheese will be melted, and the flavors will be at their peak.
Conclusion:
The ham and Swiss sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet delicious and satisfying. With its salty ham, gooey Swiss cheese, and soft, crusty bread, it's the perfect sandwich for any occasion. Whether you're packing it for lunch or serving it for dinner, the ham and Swiss sandwich is sure to please.
