Ham & Cheese Toastie

What is it?

Ham and melted cheese sit between toasted bread, then get pressed flat so the outside turns crisp while the centre stays soft and stretchy. Compared with McDonald’s ham, cheese and tomato version, this one skips the tomato entirely, so the filling is just ham and cheese. It’s a simple toasted sandwich built around sliced ham and melted cheese, with no extra vegetables or sauce to get in the way. The result is drier than the tomato version and a bit more direct, with the salt from the ham and the creamy cheese doing most of the work.
