What You'll NeedWhat You'll Need
Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread
- 3-4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 slices ham
- 2 tbsp butter
- Butter knife
- Cast-iron frying pan or griddle
- Spatula
- Plate
Step 1: Butter the Bread
Heat your frying pan over medium heat while you butter one side of each piece of bread.
Step 2: Fry the Sandwich
Place one of the slices of bread butter side down in the frying pan. Layer the cheese and ham. Put the other piece of bread on top with the butter side up. Allow your sandwich to cook for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt.
Step 3: Cook and Flip
Once the underside is a golden brown color, use the spatula to flip the sandwich over and let it cook until the other side is golden brown. Cook longer if you prefer a crispier sandwich.
Step 4: Cut and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the pan with your spatula, set it on your cutting board or plate and slice in half. Plate and serve.
