Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, or to taste
  • 2 (1 inch thick) slices Italian bread
  • 3 slices deli ham
  • 2 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 slice roasted red bell pepper
Instructions
1
Apply a layer of mayonnaise to one side of each bread slice, ensuring an even coating.
2
Layer sliced ham, melted provolone cheese, and roasted red bell pepper on top of one bread slice, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
3
Place the second bread slice on top, with its mayonnaise side facing downwards, securing the ingredients in place.
4
Heat a skillet over medium heat to initiate the cooking process. Place the prepared sandwich in the hot pan, allowing it to seep into the bread and meld with the surrounding heat.
5
Add a heavy weight on top of the sandwich, followed by two heavy objects to provide additional pressure and compression. Press down firmly on these weights to apply the necessary force, ensuring the sandwich is securely in place.
6
Gradually decrease the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
7
Carefully flip the sandwich over and replace the weight, ensuring that all components are still in contact with each other.
8
Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and achieved a uniform consistency.
