Instructions

Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for more even cooking and better flavor melding.
- Choose a high-quality, sturdy bread that can withstand toasting without falling apart.
- Spread butter evenly and thinly to ensure a consistent golden-brown crispiness.
- Use medium heat to prevent burning while allowing the cheese to melt perfectly.
- Press the sandwich gently while cooking to create a compact, well-integrated sandwich.
- Let the sandwich rest briefly after cooking to allow the cheese to set and flavors to settle.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a light spread of mustard or mayo before adding the meats.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for the best toasting results with minimal cleanup.
