Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 slices of ham
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of bread, 4 slices of cheese, 4 slices of ham, and butter for grilling. Make sure you have a clean workspace to prepare your sandwich.
- Take one slice of bread and lay it flat on a clean cutting board or plate. Place a slice of cheese on top of the bread, followed by a slice of ham. If you prefer, you can add additional toppings like mustard or mayonnaise at this stage.
- Top the ham with another slice of cheese, then place a second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Repeat this process to make a total of 4 sandwiches.
- In a skillet or frying pan, heat it over medium heat. While the pan is warming, spread a thin layer of butter on the outer sides of each sandwich. This will help achieve a golden, crispy texture when grilling.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwiches over and cook the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring they are evenly browned and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once the sandwiches are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Allow them to cool for a minute before slicing them in half for easier handling.
- Serve the Hall Kids Favorite Quickie sandwiches warm, and enjoy them with your favorite side dishes like chips, pickles, or a simple salad.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for even spreading and better browning
- Choose a good quality cheese that melts easily, like American or Swiss
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts
- Press down gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even contact and crispy texture
- For extra flavor, try adding a light spread of mustard or mayo inside the sandwich
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan for the best results
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute after cooking to allow the cheese to set slightly
- Cut diagonally for that classic deli-style presentation that makes the sandwich look even more appetizing
