Personally, I&#8217;m not a big fan of ham, which is funny considering how much I love, just about anything, pork.  I chose Black Forest Ham for this recipe but I think it would be just as good with about anything you decided to use as long as it wasn&#8217;t watered down and packed with unnatural alternative preservatives other than curing salt.  Just kidding.  I could probably make this sandwich with spam and be completely happy with it so, it&#8217;s up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cheese-Ham-Cheese-350x263.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Mixed Mozzarella and Swiss Cheese.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>Cheese in your Ham &amp; Cheese<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many different kinds of Cheese in this world that they have to write books to describe them all.  I know that some people like a sharp Ham &amp; Cheese and there are some that like a Swiss.  In this recipe I chose to go with Mozzarella, to make it more cheesey, and Swiss cheese for more flavor.  I really think the two balance each other out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I like to do is season the buttered bread.  You can choose white, wheat, rye or even sour dough bread, if you prefer but I highly recommend using an all purpose seasoning, to season the sliced buttered bread, before grilling.  All purpose seasonings usually have garlic and onion powders in them and a few earthy herbs as well so, they&#8217;re perfect to add more flavor.  Technically, it&#8217;s now a garlic toast Grilled Ham &amp; Cheese but I&#8217;m not too sure that anyone would think to google the name of that sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other sandwich recipes to check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/reubon-sandwich.html\">Reubon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/steak-and-cheese-sandwich.html\">Steak and Cheese<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/philly-cheese-steak-sandwich.html\">Philly Cheese Steak<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/sloppy-joes-classic-sandwich-recipe.html\">Sloppy Joe&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/double-decker-grilled-cheese-sandwich.html\">Double Grilled Cheese<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/waffle-iron-grilled-cheese.html\">Waffle Iron Grilled Cheese<\/a> and my <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/grilled-cheese-with-an-egg-in-the-basket.html\">Grilled Egg and Cheese Sandwich<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The BEST Grilled Ham &amp; Cheese Sandwich - PoorMansGourmet\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yf09FsaMLvE?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Grilled Ham &amp; Cheese Sandwich video tutorial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>Grilled Ham &amp; Cheese Ingredients:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Slices of Bread<br>3 Slices of Ham<br>2 oz Mozzarella Cheese, grated<br>2 oz Swiss Cheese, grated<br>1 tbsp Butter, softened<br>All purpose seasoning to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sauce<\/strong><br>1 tbsp Mayonnaise<br>1 tbsp Ketchup<br>1\/2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the directions in the Grilled Ham &amp; Cheese Sandwich video tutorial and I&#8217;ll show you exactly how to make it with these ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best Ham &amp; Cheese I bet you didn&#8217;t think a Ham &amp; Cheese sandwich couldn&#8217;t get any better but, I&#8217;m telling you, it can and it&#8217;s the little things that make all the difference.
