How to Make Grilled Ham and Cheese

STEP ONE: Spread mayonnaise on one slice and Dijon mustard on the other slice.

STEP TWO: Layer the ham and cheese ham on one side, cheese on the other piece of bread.Place two pieces of bread together for the sandwich.

STEP THREE: Spread butter on the outside of one side of the sandwich and place the butter side down onto the grill pan or skillet. The butter creates an awesome, golden crust and the best crispiness dont skimp on it!

STEP FOUR: While the sandwich is on the grill pan butter the unbuttered side that is facing you now. On medium to medium-high heat grill the sandwich until golden brown on both sides.

PRO TIP: You could also skip the stovetop grill, pan or cast-iron skillet and use a panini press as well.

Best Bread

I used a multigram for todays sandwich but there are lots of yummy bread options: rye, wheat, white, sourdough, ciabatta, or croissant. You could even skip the toast and serve it on a waffle, bagel or tortilla!

Best Cheese

The cheese possibilities are literally endless for this made from scratch toastie.

I used Kretschmar Cheddar Cheese today because its one of my favorites.

Additional options include swiss, gouda, brie, gruyere, or harvati.

Best Meats

Kretschmar Black Forest Brand Ham is a favorite for our gang. BUT its not the only choice. You could use roast beef, turkey, or chicken.

My husband loves it with a fried egg on top as well.

Additional Toppings

If you want to kick it up a notch, you can make this the ultimate grilled ham and cheese by adding tomato, onions, or avocado.

If you want to kick it up a notch, you can make this the ultimate grilled ham and cheese by adding tomato, onions, avocado, or even bacon.You could also spread a little pimento cheese inside.

I always serve our sandwiches with a pickle on the side, but I know some people who bake them right inside!

This forever will be known as the Christmas tree meal in our family.

Each year when we gather to decorate the tree at my Nannies house, she makes us grilled ham and cheese served with pickles and mugs of steaming hot homemade cocoa.

If youve never tried dipping your toasted grilled ham and cheese into hot cocoa, I suggest you try it immediately its so delicious!

This traditional favorite delights my taste buds and warms my heart with wonderful memories every time I eat it. Its a meal Im happy to share with my family.

Rich, sweet butter, fresh bread, plus tangy mayo, and Dijon mustard melt together with ham and cheese for the ultimate grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy homemade meal with your family soon.
