Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the apple half into thin rounds, discarding the core.

  2. Step 2

    Layer ham and apple slices on one bread slice, top with Swiss cheese, then the second bread slice.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium until a drop of water sizzles, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Butter or oil the skillet lightly, then slide in the sandwich and cook 2–3 minutes until golden.

  5. Step 5

    Flip once and cook the other side 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
