How to cook it
-
Lay out four slices of the bread and layer each with two slices of ham and two slices of cheese, then top with the remaining bread.
-
Butter the outside of each sandwich on both sides.
-
Heat a plancha or a large skillet over medium heat and press the sandwiches with a spatula, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted and runs at the edges.
-
Cut in half and serve hot; toasted sliced bread with cooked ham, a completely different food in Spain from a cold bocadillo built on a crusty baguette with cured jamon.
