- tomato, jalapeños, ham, garlic powder, herbs
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place ½ cup of shredded cheese in the skillet, forming a circle.
- Immediately place one slice of bread, butter-side up, over the cheese.
- Add cheese and the second slice of bread on top; flip when the bottom is crispy.

Notes
- Use a nonstick skillet for the best crust.
- Cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby Jack melt beautifully.
- Avoid high heat—it burns the cheese before melting.
- Thin layers of cheese create a perfect crispy shell.
- Let it rest 1 minute before cutting for cleaner slices.
