Ingredients
- 2 slices bread I used sourdough.
- 1 teaspoon butter Melted
- 1-2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Ham Glaze
- 2 slices swiss cheese
- 2 oz sliced ham
- fresh spinach or lettuce
- cooking oil If using a cast iron or grill pan. I use olive oil.
Instructions
- Spread the butter over both slices of bread.
- Flip the bread slices and spread the ham glaze over the other sides. Add the ham, cheese, and spinach, to the bread and form a sandwich.
Panini Press
- Add the sandwich to a panini press and press down firmly for 5-10 seconds. Allow the sandwich to cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
Air Fryer
- Add the sandwich to the air fryer basket. Anchor the sandwich with a trivet (you can use anything that's oven safe) to prevent it moving around in the air fryer.
- Air fry on 370 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Open the air fryer fry and flip the sandwich. Air fry on 370 degrees for an additional 3-4 minutes or until crisp.
Pan or Grill Pan Skillet (A cast iron works best)
- Heat the skillet on medium-high heat. Glaze the pan with olive oil to prevent sticking. Use enough to coat the surface you will be using.
- Add the sandwich to the pan.
- Cook both sides for 3-4 minutes each or until crisp.
Notes
- For crunchy bread with fine grill marks you will need oil, such as olive oil or butter.
- Thick-cut bread works best.
- Cook in batches if necessary
