Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich
One of my favorite things growing up were grilled cheese sandwiches, which are still amazing, don’t get me wrong, but adding an element of ham just makes them that much better.
This grilled ham and cheese sandwich is the perfect lunch time feast for kids young and old. I like to cut them into square pieces, stack them up and secure them with a fun cocktail toothpick and serve.
In our family we like to throw in a little homemade dipping sauce on our grilled ham and cheese sandwiches to spice things up, but eating them hot off the grill is just as delicious.
You can grill them indoors or right on our BBQ which will give you those beautiful grill lines and crunch in every bite.
