Categories     Lunches

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices thick slices of artisan, crusty bread
85 grams of shaved black forest deli ham
4 slices of sharp / old brick style cheddar, broken into smaller pieces
1 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Begin by getting your fry pan ready on the counter. Butter one side of the bread with 1/2 tbsp of butter. Place the bread butter side down in the fry pan.
  • Take half of the broken up peices of cheese and place them on top of the bread, trying to cover all the available places on the bread.
  • Take the ham and twist each peice loosely so it folds in a small mound. Continue to do this with each piece, stacking them next to each other to cover the top of the cheese.
  • Take the remaining cheese pieces and top the ham with the cheese.
  • Butter the top piece of bread with another 1/2 tbsp of butter and place it, butter side out, on top of the cheese.
  • Place the fry pan onto the stove over medium heat/low heat.Take your time grilling the bread as if you brown the bread too quickly, the cheese will not be melted. Keep an eye on the bottom piece and when it's nicely toasted, carefully flip the sandwich to the other side.
  • Placing a lid on the fry pan helps with melting the cheese slightly faster.
  • When the other side is nicely grilled to golden brown, remove the sandwich onto a plate. Let it rest for a few minutes as the cheese will be LAVA hot!! Cut in half after the wait time is done, and enjoy!
