Notes
Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best taste. Good quality bread, cheese, ham, apples, and tomatoes will make all the difference.
Make sure you slice the apples and tomatoes thinly so that they cook evenly and don't make the sandwich too thick.
Use a non-stick skillet to avoid sticking and make sure to preheat it properly before cooking.
Be careful not to burn the bread while cooking. Keep the heat on low and cook the sandwich slowly on both sides.
Use a spatula or a sandwich press to gently press the sandwich while cooking. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and the sandwich to cook more quickly.
Experiment with different types of cheese and bread to find your favorite combination.
Serve the sandwich hot, straight out of the skillet, for the best taste and texture.
