GRILLED cheese sandwiches rank high on the effort-to-reward scale.
With minimal ingredients, these gooey delights come together in minutes.
Ingredients:
slices of bread
slices cooked ham
large tomato (sliced into rings)
cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
margarine or butter for spreading
Instructions:
Gather your ingredients together.
Cut your cheese and grate it.
With your bread out, begin to assemble your sandwich.
First put your ham on the bread.
Followed by the grated cheese then your tomatoes.
When you’ve put your tomatoes, add salt and pepper then close the sandwich.
Spread butter or margarine on the outside of the sandwich.
Flip it over and lay the sandwich (the buttered-side down) into the sandwich maker.
Spread margarine on the other side of the sandwich.
Sprinkle sugar on to the sandwiches then close and switch on your sandwich maker.
Leave them in there until golden brown.
Your sandwiches are ready.
On stove top:
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon butter.
Place one slice butter-side down in the hot skillet.
Top with cheese and ham.
Spread the unbuttered side of second slice of bread with mayonnaise and mustard (optional) place it butter-side up on sandwich.
Cook in the hot skillet until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
Takeaway:
You can grill the ham by itself for a few minutes before putting it on the bread.
It helps the melt the cheese and makes the ham taste better.
An egg and bacon can also be added to the sandwich to make it more filling.
Do you grill cheese on high or low heat?
A grilled cheese is nothing without its toasty, golden brown crust and gooey insides.
To accomplish this, you’re going to want to cook your sandwich over medium-low heat.
If the heat is too high, you could end up burning the buttery outsides before the sliced cheese has a chance to melt.
To ensure melty cheese, some prefer to cover the pan as the sandwich cooks to trap the heat.
Slide the sandwich onto a plate and, voila, you have a perfect breakfast sandwich. – Online.
