Ingredients
6 slices firm, thinly sliced closetextured white bread
3 tablespoons sweet butter, softened
3 thin slices honey cured ham
1/4 pound sliced Gruyere cheese, white cheddar, Swiss, or other medium firm cheese
Directions
- To assemble the sandwiches, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Then lay the ham and cheese on one slice and cover with a second slice of bread. Trim the crusts off the sides of the sandwiches. Heat a saute pan over medium low heat, then fry the sandwiches until the cheese starts to melt and the sandwiches are golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to add more butter to the pan. Remove the sandwiches to paper towels to drain, let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into quarters diagonally and serve 3 quarters each per serving;
