Submitted by loveleesmile

"Love love these. What could be better than a classic grilled cheese sandwich, with ham and good crusty bread? Ah....my ultimate comfort food."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 8 slices of your favorite bread
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 8 ounces gruyere cheese, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces thinly sliced smoked ham (such as Black Forest)
• 2 -4 tomatoes, thinly sliced

directions

1. Spread one side of each bread slice with the butter. On a clean work surface, place 4 slices buttered-side down. Divide the cheese and ham among those 4 slices. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered-side up.
2. Heat a grill pan or a 12-inch skillet with a lid over medium heat until warm. Place the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cook, covered, 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cheese melts and bread is golden brown.
3. Cut each sandwich in half; slide in 1 or 2 tomato slices and serve hot.
