Ham and Cheddar Melt Recipe

When Joey talks about his love for sandwiches in F.R.I.E.N.D.S., there is a certain kind of passion that you see on the screen. A passion that translates from the screen to a roar in your stomach and drool in your mouth. If that is how passionately you love your sandwiches, we have a drooler for you! Take a look at this Ham and Cheddar Melt:

They’re not just a great evening snack or an answer to a midnight hunger call, you can make these Ham and Cheddar Melts at parties and both kids and grown-ups are going to love them. Simply prepare the sandwiches before, toast them in a batch of 2-3 just before you serve so that they are crisp, hot and the cheese is all melty! Mmm….

If you’re thinking that I am talking gourmet or something that will take hours of prep, you are far from right. This Ham and Cheddar Melt is as quick as a Witch waving it’s wand to create magic out of sand! So here is how you will get Sand-WITCHED:

Ingredients:

1 Bread roll
½ Cup chopped lettuce
2 Tbsp mayonnaise (and some more)
2 Slices smoked ham
1 Slice cheddar cheese
Butter

Directions:

Split the bread roll in half running a sharp knife through the center.

Slather the lower bread generously with mayonnaise.

Place a layer of lettuce, followed by smoked ham and cheddar cheese.

Top with the upper half of the bread and close your sandwich.

Heat butter in a skillet and cook the sandwich on each side for 3 minutes or until golden.

Serve hot and enjoy it with a re-run of your favorite F.R.I.E.N.D.S. episode!

Tips:

You can also use Smoked Gouda.
If you a golden brown, yet crispy crust, substitute the butter for mayonnaise. Try it, even though you might think of this as crazy!
