How to Make Ham And Cheese Grill

  1. Lay out two slices of bread. On one slice, arrange the ham, cheese, and tomato slices.
  2. Top with the second slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and your choice of oregano or red pepper flakes.
  4. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the outside of both slices of bread. (Optionally, spread butter on the outside of the bread for extra crispiness)
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwich to the skillet.
  6. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and cheese melting.
  7. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
