Today the kids loved having a grilled cheese with mozzarella and smoked ham. Here are a few other grilled sandwich ideas for a quick lunch or a busy weeknight meal. Add soup or some veggie sticks to round things out!
Because we have to make so many for school lunch, we butter the bottom slice of bread for each sandwich and place the butter side down on a large cookie sheet. We add the toppings then place the buttered second slice of bread on top. Next, we broil the sandwiches carefully on each side until they are toasted. When turning the sandwiches, we like to press them down a bit to help glue the sandwich together and crisp the bread a bit. When the sandwiches are done, we like to slice ours in half with a pizza cutter (on the pan) before serving.
