Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 1/2-inch-thick slices hearty white bread, such as Farmhouse®
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced serrano ham
  • 4 oz. Manchego cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoon. salted butter, softened

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Cut the crusts off, then cut into triangles. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Jasmine Smith
