⏰ Total Time: 15 minutes (Prep Time: 5 minutes, Cook Time: 10 minutes)
🔢 Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or low-fat mayo if preferred)
- 4 slices smoked ham
- 2 slices of your choice of cheese (such as Swiss, cheddar, or your favorite)
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 2 slices of bread (such as sourdough, ciabatta, or whole wheat)
Instructions:
-
Spread the Mayonnaise: Begin by spreading a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will give the panini a rich, creamy texture and help achieve a golden-brown crust.
-
Assemble the Panini: On one slice of bread, layer 4 slices of smoked ham evenly. Follow with the tomato slices and then the cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side down, to complete your sandwich.
-
Grill the Panini: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray. Carefully place the assembled sandwich onto the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted beautifully inside.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the panini from the skillet, cut it in half if desired, and enjoy while it’s warm and gooey.
