Categories     Lunches

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices thick slices of artisan, crusty bread
85 grams of shaved black forest deli ham
4 slices of sharp / old brick style cheddar, broken into smaller pieces
1 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Begin by getting your fry pan ready on the counter. Butter one side of the bread with 1/2 tbsp of butter. Place the bread butter side down in the fry pan.
  • Take half of the broken up peices of cheese and place them on top of the bread, trying to cover all the available places on the bread.
  • Take the ham and twist each peice loosely so it folds in a small mound. Continue to do this with each piece, stacking them next to each other to cover the top of the cheese.
  • Take the remaining cheese pieces and top the ham with the cheese.
  • Butter the top piece of bread with another 1/2 tbsp of butter and place it, butter side out, on top of the cheese.
  • Place the fry pan onto the stove over medium heat/low heat.Take your time grilling the bread as if you brown the bread too quickly, the cheese will not be melted. Keep an eye on the bottom piece and when it's nicely toasted, carefully flip the sandwich to the other side.
  • Placing a lid on the fry pan helps with melting the cheese slightly faster.
  • When the other side is nicely grilled to golden brown, remove the sandwich onto a plate. Let it rest for a few minutes as the cheese will be LAVA hot!! Cut in half after the wait time is done, and enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 cup Jalapeno Pimento Cheese, recipe follows
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne or dash of hot sauce
Pinch kosher salt
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
2 cups grated smoked Gouda
4 ounces sliced pimentos
1/2 cup jarred sliced jalapenos, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Crackers, for serving
1 cup Castelvetrano olives, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Place one piece of bread, mayonnaise-side down, into the skillet. Top with the Jalapeno Pimento Cheese. Place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up, onto the cheese. Using a spatula, press together and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Slice and serve.
  • Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, cayenne or hot sauce and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until combined. Add almost all of the Cheddar and Gouda, reserving about 2 tablespoons of each in a bowl, and pulse until well combined again. Add the contents of the blender to the reserved cheese and stir to combine. Fold in the pimentos, jalapenos and dill, then chill before serving.
  • Serve as a dip with crackers and olives.

Tips:

Use Good Quality Ingredients

The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final sandwich. Use a good quality ham that is flavorful and not too salty. The cheese should be a good melting cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and avocado. And don't forget the bread! A good quality sourdough or whole wheat bread will make a big difference.

Don't Overcrowd the Sandwich

When you're assembling the sandwich, don't overcrowd it. Too many ingredients will make it difficult to eat and the flavors will be muddled. Stick to a few key ingredients and make sure they're all evenly distributed.

Cook the Sandwich Slowly

The key to a great grilled cheese sandwich is to cook it slowly. This will allow the cheese to melt evenly and the bread to get nice and crispy. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a soggy sandwich.

Serve Immediately

A grilled cheese sandwich is best served immediately. The cheese will be gooey and the bread will be crispy. If you let it sit for too long, the cheese will start to harden and the bread will get soggy.

Conclusion:

Enjoy!

The spicy ham and grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of smoky ham, melted cheese, and spicy mayo, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this sandwich a try.
