Welcome to my kitchen! Today we will indulge in a simple yet extremely satisfying recipe: hot sandwiches with smoked cheese and pressed ham. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick breakfast or a delicious snack at the office. With a perfect combination of flavors and textures, each bite will be a true pleasure!

The history of these sandwiches is simple yet full of flavor. The sandwich, as a concept, was created out of the need for easy and quick eating without the need for cutlery or elaborate meals. So, let’s get started with our recipe!

Ingredients

- 4 slices of graham toast bread
- 2 slices of smoked cheese from Delaco
- 2 slices of pressed ham
- Spicy ketchup, for serving

Ingredient details

1. Graham toast bread: This bread is healthier than white bread, having a higher fiber content. You can also use whole grain bread to add more nutrition.

2. Smoked cheese: The smoked cheese adds a deep and rich flavor. If you prefer, you can also opt for fresh cheese, but the smoky aroma will be unmistakable and will turn the sandwich into a delicacy.

3. Pressed ham: This adds a juicy texture and a salty note. Make sure to choose a quality ham for the best results.

4. Spicy ketchup: A perfect choice to complement the taste of the sandwich. If you’re a fan of a spicier condiment, you can also add a dash of Sriracha sauce or spicy mustard!

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cutting the pressed ham slices to the size of the bread slices. The cheese slices can be left whole, but if you prefer, you can cut them in half for a better fit.

2. Assembling the sandwiches: On one slice of bread, place a slice of cheese followed by a slice of pressed ham. Cover with another slice of bread. Repeat the process for the other sandwich.

3. Preparing the appliance: Connect the sandwich maker and wait until the signal indicates it’s ready for use. This step is crucial, as a well-heated appliance will ensure an even and crispy sandwich.

4. Cooking the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the appliance, close it, and let them cook. Wait for the trigger signal, but if you prefer a crispier result, you can leave the sandwiches in the appliance for a few extra minutes. This way, you’ll achieve a golden and crispy crust.

5. Serving: Remove the sandwiches from the appliance and let them cool slightly. Cut them in half if desired, and serve with spicy ketchup. This combination will make the sandwiches even more flavorful!

Helpful tips

- Possible variations: You can add fresh vegetables, such as slices of tomatoes or lettuce leaves, for an extra touch of freshness. Additionally, a slice of avocado will fit perfectly into your sandwich.

- The perfect dessert: These sandwiches pair wonderfully with a fruit smoothie or a warm drink, such as hot chocolate or a flavored tea.

- Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of cheese? Of course! You can experiment with cheddar or mozzarella cheese, depending on your preferences.
- How can I keep the sandwiches warm for longer? Wrap them in aluminum foil to retain heat before serving.
