There are so many ways to make a grilled cheese sandwich it should probably just be its own food group. Actually, that’s not a half-bad idea in general … but I digress. This Cooper® Broccoli and Ham Grilled Cheese is just one of those many variations you should try. Because it’s delightful. And it’s a great way to sneak in some broccoli under cover of cheesy deliciousness.

Directions
-
Butter 1 side of each slice of bread.
-
In a pre-heated pan, place 1 slice of bread, buttered side down. Layer 2 slices of Cooper® Sharp cheese on the bread. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup ham and 1/2 cup broccoli on cheese. Layer another 2 slices of Cooper® Sharp cheese to cover the ham and broccoli. Top with another piece of bread, buttered side up.
-
Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Check each side, cooking until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
-
Cut each sandwich in half and serve nice and warm.
