The Classic Toasted (The “Gold Standard”)

This version focuses on the perfect crunch and gooey center.

• Bread: Sourdough or thick-cut white bread.

• The Cheese: A mix of Sharp Cheddar (for flavor) and Gruyère or Swiss (for the melt).

• The Ham: Thinly sliced Black Forest or Honey Ham.

• The Secret: Spread mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter before grilling. It creates a more even, golden-brown crust and doesn’t burn as easily.
