Grilled Cheese with Ham and Tomato

When I want to be more elaborate with grilled cheese and really make a meal of it I use this recipe.

Potato bread slices
Deli boiled ham
Muenster cheese
Cheddar cheese
Sliced tomatoes


To each sandwich I add ham, muenster and cheddar cheese and a sliced tomato। I fry in butter.
Serve with salads and pickles and pork ’n’ beans. In the winter I also serve with soup.
