TEEN CHEF – Grilled Ham & Cheese Sandwich
WE make cheese sandwiches almost everyday, but what is so special about this recipe is that it is for Grilled Ham & Cheese Sandwich.
This crispy snack is done in such a short time, it very convenient for breakfast. The first bite will give you a preview of what to expect throughout but don’t become too relax because you may just be surprised with the melted cheese planted within the meat slices. You won’t regret trying this out!!!

1 — Sandwiches can be made with any meat of your choice such as chicken or turkey slices, instead of ham.
2 — The order of the ham slices and cheese is important. This is to prevent the sandwich from sliding apart as the melted cheese will keep all the ingredients glued together.
3 — Chiffonade is a technique for slicing herbs and leafy vegetables into long, thin strips. To chiffonade something, stack into a small pile and roll then slice crosswise.
