Lunch: Inside-Out Grilled Ham-and-Cheese Sandwiches

Recipe by Grace Parisi The best way to improve on a great grilled cheese is to sprinkle some cheese on the outside of the bread. It creates a super-crisp, cheesy crust.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. unsalted butter
8 slice bakery Pullman bread
1/2 c. Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 lb. Swiss cheese, preferably Gruyère
8 oz. ham
Dill pickle slices (optional)
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 c. apricot preserves

Instructions

Butter each slice of bread and sprinkle with Parmigiano, pressing to help it adhere. Invert the slices onto a work surface, cheese side down. Top 4 of the slices with the Swiss cheese, ham, and pickles. Mix the mustard and preserves and spread on the remaining 4 slices of bread. Close the sandwiches and griddle over moderate heat, turning, until golden, crisp on the outside and melted inside, about 3 minutes. Cut in half and serve right away.
