Sangie Week – Spanish Grilled Ham & Cheese

This ain’t your typical grilled cheese.

God forbid I ever do anything normally, right?

So when the boys wanted some grilled cheese sangies I had to go to the extreme.

Ole!

kids lunch ideas kid favorite recipes featured dinners on a dime 2 dinner    Sangie Week   Spanish Grilled Ham & Cheese

WHAT YOU NEED:

8 slices seedless rye bread

1 T margarine (I like I can’t believe it’s not butter…yes I use margarine for this kind of thing….I know I know.)

1 t garlic powder

8 slices manchego cheese

8 slices serrano ham

optional: marinated peppers

WHAT TO DO:

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.

While the skillet heats up, assemble your sangies.

Spread each slice of bread on one side with margarine.  Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Put the buttered side down on the skillet and add one slice of cheese, then the ham, then another slice of cheese, and peppers.

Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.

Grill until golden brown and cheese begins to melt.

Flip and grill until golden brown.

I tent my sangies with tin foil to help the cheese melt faster and smoothy.

Enjoy with some gazpacho!

These are a great idea for a party as an app if you make them on small slices of baguette!

  1. We’ve kind of gotten out of the habit, but Peter and I used make grilled sandwiches like this very very often. Don’t know why we don’t now. Maybe because it’s been summer.

  2. Love the sangie combination here. I’ve never thought of using tin foil to help the cheese melt better. That’s brilliant! Thanks for the tip. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  3. I’ve never had a grilled cheese sandwich like that! I’m coming over for lunch!!

  4. Yum! I can’t believe your kids will eat that. You’re a lucky lady.

  7. OH MY GOSH! I love grilled cheese sandwiches with turkey, chicken, ham, roast beef-you name it, I’ll try it. And I adore garlic. But I’ve never put the two together. I’m pretty sure this will be my lunch of choice next week at work-can’t wait to try it!

  8. Oh my goodness…this sounds delish! I am on my way over! :)

  9. Oh wow this sounds great. There’s a sheep farm just a few miles from us that makes the best La Mancha cheese and was given props in the Dec issue of Southern Living. I’ll have to get my hands on some serrano ham and make this.

  10. Looks and sounds DELICIOUS!!

  11. This looks so delicious! I always leave your page so motivated to make something scrumptious! (I also leave your site super hungry… lol)
