Baked Ham and Cheese Toast
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. This baked ham and cheese toast comes out best when the oven is fully hot.
- 2
Allow the butter to soften and spread it on the outer sides of all slices of sandwich bread.
TIP:Let the butter soften at room temperature and spread a thin, even layer over the entire surface of the toast slices. For extra crispness, you can use a mixture of butter and oil.
- 3
Spread the inner sides with full-fat mustard to taste.
- 4
On half of the slices, place a slice of Edam cheese, a slice of ham, then another slice of Edam.
- 5
Top with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side out, and press gently.
Baking
- 6
Transfer the toasts to the tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- 7
Carefully turn them halfway through baking so they brown evenly on both sides.
- 8
Remove the finished toasts, let them rest for 1 minute, and season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serving
- 9
Cut the toasts into triangles and serve while still warm.
- 10
Serve with ketchup to taste or with a light green salad.
More tips:
For an extra-crispy crust, brush the toasts with a thin layer of butter after turning them halfway through baking.
Variation: add a thin slice of tomato or a few slices of pickled gherkin inside for freshness.
