INSIDE-OUT GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix the shredded cheeses together in a small bowl.
• Melt butter in the bottom of a fry pan over medium heat. Add one slice of bread. Top the piece of bread with about 1/2 of the cheese mixture and the ham slices. Top with the second piece of bread.
• Place 1/2 of the remaining cheese on top of the second slice of bread and carefully turn the sandwich over to grill the cheese. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese on the bottom is slightly crispy. While it is cooking, add the remaining cheese on what is now the top piece of bread.
• Flip the sandwich and cook another 3 to 4 minutes to crisp the cheese on the second side. Remove to a plate, slice in half, and enjoy!

GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

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!

• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat, then fry the sandwiches until the cheese starts to melt and the sandwiches are golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to add more butter to the pan.
• Remove the sandwiches to paper towels to drain, let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into quarters diagonally and serve 3 quarters each per serving.

• Stir together butter and mustard. Spread every other slice of bread with slightly less than 2 teaspoons mustard mixture, creating 6 sandwiches. Fold each slice of cheese in half diagonally; tuck each into sandwich. Divide ham evenly among sandwiches, tucking in to fit. Place loaf on center of foil. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion.
• Place foil-wrapped loaf on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and loaf is hot, turning loaf frequently. To serve, open packet carefully to allow steam to escape. Remove foil from loaf; pull apart sandwiches.
