Ingredients

  • 8 slice bread slices
  • 8 ounce deli ham
  • 8 ounce cheddar cheese
  • 4 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Butter one side of each of the 8 bread slices with the 4 tbsp butter, using about 1/2 tbsp per slice.

  2. 2

    Place 4 bread slices buttered-side down on a cutting board. Top each with 2 oz ham and 2 oz cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Cover with the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered-side up, to make 4 sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

  5. 5

    Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  6. 6

    Remove from the pan, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve hot.
