This Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich is ready in less than 10 minutes. The buttered bread with melted cheese and ham toasted to perfection is the best comfort food.
Preheat a fry pan or griddle over medium high heat. Spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly over one side of each slice of artisan bread.
Place one piece of bread on the fry pan or griddle butter side down. Top the bread with 1 slice of cheddar cheese. Layer 3 ounces shaved Black Forest ham evenly over the cheese. Place the second slice of cheddar cheese on top of the ham. Top with the remaining slice of bread, butter-side facing up.
Heat the sandwich for 3-5 minutes until the bottom piece of bread is golden brown. Flip and cook the opposite side sandwich for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the sandwich to a plate. Let the sandwich rest for for a few minutes so that the cheese is not too hot. Cut in half and enjoy!
