Ham and Cheese Sandwich - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute butter with mayonnaise for a richer flavor and golden crust. Mayonnaise has a higher smoke point and adds a slightly tangy taste.
For a vegetarian version, replace ham with grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms, or marinated tofu. You could also use plant-based deli slices for a similar texture.
Assembled but uncooked sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Cooked sandwiches are best eaten immediately but can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days in an airtight container.
Absolutely! A panini press works great for this recipe. Cook for 3-4 minutes at medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy.
For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas instead of bread. You can also try keto-friendly bread alternatives.
Yes, you can freeze assembled but uncooked sandwiches for up to 1 month. Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
Good melting cheeses include cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, or American. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan as they don't melt as well.
For extra crispiness, spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of the bread and cook for an additional 30 seconds per side on medium-high heat.
Pair your sandwich with pickle spears, potato chips, a simple green salad, or tomato soup for a complete meal.
