Unbelievable as it may seem, the combination of pre-cooked ham and apple in a grilled cheese sandwich is a game-changer for my lazy Sunday lunches. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a crunch that’ll make you forget all about the classic version.

Ingredients

• Pre-cooked ham – 4 slices
• Apple – 1, thinly sliced
• Cheddar cheese – 4 slices
• Bread – 4 slices
• Butter – 2 tbsp

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat (350°F) for 2 minutes until it’s evenly warm.
2. Butter one side of each bread slice lightly but completely to ensure a golden crust.
3. Place two bread slices in the skillet, buttered side down, and immediately top each with one slice of cheddar cheese.
4. Arrange two slices of pre-cooked ham and a layer of apple slices on top of the cheese on each bread slice in the skillet.
5. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute to help the cheese melt faster without burning the bread.
6. Place the remaining cheese slices on top of the apple layers, then cap with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
7. Flip the sandwiches carefully after 3 minutes, or when the bottom is golden brown, and cook for another 3 minutes until the other side matches.
8. Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly for easier handling.

This sandwich turns out irresistibly crispy on the outside with a gooey, flavorful center. Try serving it with a side of caramelized onion jam for an extra kick that complements the apple’s sweetness.
