Ingredients:

4 slices smoked ham 1/4 inch thick

4 slices medium to sharp cheddar cheese

4 slices heart bread (sourdough, potato or whole grain)

1 large tomato, sliced into 4 slices

2 slices red or purple onion, or finely dice 1/2 medium red or purple onion

2 - 3 Tablespoons butter

Instructions:

All ingredients should be at room temp. Heat large skillet on low heat. Butter both sides of bread. Toast bread on one side; put one piece of cheese on buttered side (that’s not toasting), put one ham slice on top of cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, another piece of ham and top with other slice of cheese. Put other piece of bread on top with toasted side up. Using a spatula, keep turning bread until both sides are toasted a golden brown. Remove and cut in half. Serve with side salad or fruit. Repeat with remaining sandwich.
