Cheesy ham and turkey melts

A hot sandwich built from the party tray: sliced turkey and ham piled with cheddar on toast, run under the broiler until the cheese bubbles. This shelf practically cooks itself.

Serves 2. 12 minutes, 8 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 2 slices bread

From your shelf

  • 4 slices smoked turkey breast
  • 4 slices honey ham
  • 2 slices mild cheddar cheese

Staples

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper

  1. Set the oven rack 6 inches below the broiler and preheat it to high. Butter two slices of bread on one side and place them buttered side down on a baking sheet.
  2. Layer two slices of ham and two slices of turkey on each slice of bread, then top each with one slice of cheddar cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Broil the sandwiches until the cheese melts and bubbles at the edges, about three minutes. Watch them so they don't burn.

Note Swap the cheese for any melting variety you have. These are best eaten right away while warm; leftovers keep one day covered in the cold box. Serve with mustard, pickles, or a simple green salad.
