Method
Slice the tomato4 into thin rounds and slice the cucumber6 for serving.
Grate the cheese or cut it into thin slices.
Butter5 the outside of the bread.
Layer the ham2, tomato4, and cheese on the bread, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
Top with the second slice of bread and place the sandwiches in a dry preheated skillet, buttered5 side down.
Cook covered for 3–4 minutes over medium heat until golden brown.
Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Serve hot with the sliced cucumber6.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cook it under a lid: the steam inside melts the 50 g of cheese faster, and the bread browns in 3-4 minutes without drying out.
- Substitutions
- Swap the ham for boiled sausage in the same amount, and the hard cheese for any cheese that melts.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is too high a heat: the bread darkens outside while the cheese inside stays in pieces.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat it fresh, while the bread is crisp. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge for 1 day and reheat in a dry pan under a lid for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with
- Serve it for a quick dinner with cucumber and hot tea.
