    Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

    Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

With just a few ingredients, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that will delight with its golden brown, crispy crust and melting cheese interior. The combination of tender ham, melted cheese, and lightly seasoned bread makes for a tasty treat that will appeal to both kids and adults. This recipe is not only easy to make but also adaptable—choose your favorite bread and cheese varieties, and add a special touch to the sandwiches as desired. Whether you enjoy them on their own or serve them with a fresh salad, these sandwiches are always a hit!
    Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

    Ingredients:
    12 slices of your favorite bread (consider whole-wheat for a healthier option)
    12 slices of cheese (choose from Swiss, cheddar, or another cheese that melts well)
    6 slices of ham (best if thinly sliced)
    2 large eggs
    1/2 cup milk (any will do, even dairy-free)
    A pinch of salt
    Optional: Butter for greasing the baking dish and additional seasonings (like pepper, mustard, or herbs) to taste
    Instructions:
    Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your oven is at the right temperature to bake your sandwiches to perfection.
    Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray. This prevents the sandwiches from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
    Assemble the sandwiches: Place 6 slices of bread on a flat surface. Place a slice of cheese on each slice, followed by a slice of ham. If your ham slices are large, you can fold them to fit inside the bread. Top the ham with another slice of cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
    Whisk eggs and milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined. If you want to add any additional seasonings, whisk them in now.
    Dip the sandwiches: Gently dip both sides of each sandwich, one at a time, into the egg and milk mixture to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid without becoming too soggy.
    Arrange in the baking dish: Place the dipped sandwiches in the prepared baking dish. They should fit snugly. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the sandwiches.
    Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted. The exact time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
    Serving: After baking, let the sandwiches rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle and allow the flavors to develop better. Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve warm.

    Cuisine

    This recipe is inspired by modern European-style health-conscious breakfasts and Mediterranean diet principles. With its yogurt base and minimal sugar, it fits into many wellness-focused dietary patterns.

    A Full List of Ingredients

    Main Ingredients:

      • Apple: 1, peeled and grated (or 100ml unsweetened applesauce)

      • Banana: 1, ripe and mashed

      • Greek Yogurt: 300ml (about 1 ¼ cups)

    • Wholemeal Flour: 80g (about 2/3 cup)

    • Oil or Butter: for greasing the pan

    Optional Toppings:

      • Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, kiwi)

      • Honey or maple syrup

      • Chopped nuts

      • Nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew)

      • Extra Greek yogurt

    Step-by-Step Cooking Directions

    1. Prepare the Fruit
    Peel and grate the apple if using a fresh one. If using applesauce, measure 100ml and set aside. In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. This will help bind the batter and add natural sweetness.

    2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mashed banana. Add the grated apple or applesauce and stir well to create a smooth, creamy base.

    3. Add the Flour
    Gradually add the wholemeal flour to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but still scoopable or pourable. If it feels too stiff, you can add a tablespoon of milk or yogurt to loosen it.

    4. Preheat and Grease the Skillet
    Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter. Let it heat for 1–2 minutes.

    5. Cook the Pancakes
    Spoon small amounts of batter (about 2–3 tablespoons) onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Flatten slightly with a spoon if needed. Cook for about 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.

    6. Repeat with Remaining Batter
    Continue cooking the pancakes in batches, greasing the skillet lightly between each batch as needed

    7. Serve and Enjoy
    Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings like honey, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, or berries.
