From "Grilled Cheese: 50 Recipes to Make You Melt"






List of Ingredients



• 6 ounces Gruyère, Emmentaler or other Swiss cheese, shredded coarsely
  
• 2 to 3 ounces diced smoked ham
  
• Generous pinch of dry mustard
  
• A few shakes of Worcestershire sauce
  
• 1 Tbsp heavy cream (or enough to hold it all together)
  
• 8 very thin slices of dense white bread, crusts cut off
  
• Olive oil, for brushing (or soft butter for spreading) on bread
  






Instructions



1. In a medium bowl, combine the cheese with the smoked ham, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, then mix in the cream, adding just enough for it to form a firm mixture and hold together.
   
   
2. Spread the ham and cheese mixture very thickly onto 4 pieces of the bread and top with the other 4 pieces. Press together well and cut sandwiches into 3 fingers each.
   
   
3. Brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil, then brown over medium-high heat in a heavy nonstick skillet, pressing them down using a spatula as they cook. When lightly crisped on the first side, turn them over and brown the second side. Serve immediately.
