Forget about regular sandwiches; stay warm with some grilled, gooey goodness. There are numerous types of grilled sandwiches you can make with ham. Feel as though you transported to France or Cuba with a croque monsieur or Cuban sandwich. When in doubt, go for a classic croque monsieur made with ham, cheese, bread, and béchamel. It’s not your average ham and cheese sandy. 

Seeking something on the simple side? Open your fridge or cabinet to see what you can use. When it comes to grilled sandwiches, lean toward picking items that taste good warmed up, such as cheese, leafy greens like spinach, and even other meats, including bacon or turkey. Spread butter or mayonnaise on your bread before grilling to give it a tasty crunch. You can make nearly anything into a grilled sandwich. Pick your bread, a cheese, something to spread on the bread, like mustard, mayo, or pesto, and maybe a veggie, but it’s not required.
