Preparation time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 2 Slices Hovis® Soft White Thick Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoons of butter
  • 2 Slices of ham (thick)
  • 75g Mature cheddar (sliced)

Tip

Gruyère, Swiss or Mozzarella are excellent additions. A blend of cheeses can add complexity to your toastie.

Method

1

Butter both sides of the two slices of bread and make two sandwiches with two slices of ham and half of the cheddar in each.

A knife spreading butter on a slice of Hovis Soft White Thick Sliced bread in the kitchen on a wooden chopping board surrounded by more bread and other ingredients.
2

Place the sandwiches into a frying pan and heat gently. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has begun to melt and the bread is golden. Flip the sandwiches over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.

Once the cheese has melted and both sides are golden brown, remove from the pan, slice and serve immediately.
