GRILLED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICH
While watching Emerill Live tonight, Bobby Flay was the special guest. While they were cooking, they started joking around saying they were hungry and since Bobby was making a hamburger with ham and cheese, he asked Emerill if he wanted a "ham, egg and cheese sandwich" to go with the beer that Emerill provided him. I hadn't had dinner yet and my protein intake for the day was pretty low so this sounded really good. They didn't show him making it but its not that hard to figure out.

Remove from heat. Butter inside of bread slices. Place ham on microwavable dish and heat through. Blot any juices that lay on the plate so it doesn't make sandwiches soggy.
- Preheat large skillet or griddle on stovetop on medium heat. Put ham on buttered bread, then basil leaves, then cheese. Brush garlic-infused olive oil on outside of sandwiches and place in preheated skillet or griddle. Lightly brown on each side.

Tips for Making the Best Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for artisanal bread, thick-cut ham, and a cheese that melts well, like cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss. - Butter the bread. This will help the sandwich get golden brown and crispy. - Don't overload the sandwich. Too much filling will make it difficult to cook evenly. - Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help the cheese melt slowly and evenly. - Flip the sandwich halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly. - Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches are best when they're hot and gooey.Conclusion:
