Bikini Sandwiches
Bikini sandwiches consist of buttered toasted bread topped with Manchego cheese and serrano ham. Each bite is warm, buttery, and layered with subtle tang and umami.
Ingredients
Method
- Top 2 bread slices evenly with serrano ham, followed by a sprinkle of 1/2 cup Manchego on each. Place remaining 2 bread slices on top of Manchego. Spread butter evenly on both sides of sandwiches.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sandwiches to skillet; lightly cover with aluminum foil, then place a large cast-iron skillet on top to compress. (Alternatively, use a heavy skillet weighted with 2 heavy cans.) Cook, flipping sandwiches once and adjusting heat as necessary, until bread is golden brown and toasted and cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Cut the crusts off, then cut into triangles. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Jasmine Smith
