Ultimate Grilled Cheese

January 22

I can hardly call this a recipe, more an art of assembly! Everyone has their preferred fillings when it comes to toasted sandwiches but this is how I like to make mine – gooey, crispy and cheesy in equal measure!

Method
  1. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan low to medium heat.
  2. Grate the gruyere and cheddar cheese on the large side of a box grater, toss together.
  3. Slice the loaf into thick slices and spread the butter on both sides.
  4. Top half the slices with sauce of choice, grated cheese and two slices of sliced ham per sandwich.
  5. Top with the other slice of bread and press down.
  6. Put them on the grill pan and cook for 4 minutes on either side.
