Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

An interesting addition is thinly sliced apple slices. Bacon and apple grilled cheese sandwiches are another idea.

Bread: white, wheat, or rye
Ham slices
American or Swiss cheese (Brie?)
Soft butter

Butter the outside of the bread. Place slices of cheese and between the pieces of bread. Place, buttered side down, in a hot cast iron pan, cover with a lid. Turn the heat down so the cheese has time to melt before the bread browns. Flip when one side is brown and brown the other. Serve immediately.
