Instructions

Preheat the oven to the grill setting at 200 °C, or heat a non-stick pan.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread.
Place a slice of ham on the unbuttered side of the bread, then a generous layer of grated cheese.
Top with a second slice of bread, buttered side up, then repeat to make four sandwiches.
In the oven, bake for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. In a pan, cook over medium heat, covered, for 3 minutes on each side.
Cut in half diagonally and serve warm.
