Grilled Cheese with Ham... and flavor
Posted by parker 9 months ago
This grilled cheese sandwich has flavor beyond that of the cheese.
- 2 slices bread (rye is great)
- 2 slices swiss cheese
- Ham
- Peppers (optional)
- Grated mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Oregano
- Olive oil (optional)
Construct the sandwich bottom-up, as usual, in this order: one slice of bread, one slice of swiss, ham. Now sprinkle oregano over the ham. If you wish, slice some strips from a bell pepper and place them over the ham; you may also sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese in here. Because the mozzarella melts faster than the swiss, it's a good glue in the middle of the sandwich, but you won't suffer from leaving it out if you don't have any handy. Now top it off with the other slice of swiss and the final slice of bread.
If you grill this on a skillet, you can brush the outsides of the bread slices with olive oil (butter or margarine is an acceptable substitute,) but if you have a sandwich grill of some sort you can skip it.
What else can you stuff in here?
After a visit to the Wheatberry Cafe this week, I had the idea of trying mustard on my sandwich as well. That turned out to be a good idea. Ever put mustard on a grilled-cheese-and-ham sandwich? Try it.
Parker, Parker, Parker. Swiss is gross. Try Brie and tomato with your ham. On sourdough.
Ooohhhh yeah!
