Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large slices of bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 5 slices ham
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/3 cup hearty baby greens

Instructions

  • Heat griddle or panini press to medium heat.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Lay 2 slices of cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.
  • Top with ham, cranberry sauce, hearty baby greens, and remaining cheese.
  • Top with remaining slice of bread, butter side up.
  • Add to the griddle and cook for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melty and the bread is toasted.
  • I like to cook my sandwich at a lower heat for a longer time because it ensures that my whole sandwich will be warmed.
