Sometimes a simple grilled cheese can be the best. This is not really a recipe but more of an idea for a delicious sandwich. This grilled cheese combines ham, Monterey Jack and ranch dressing. You can either cook the sandwiches in a skillet or on a griddle. As always, I prefer a griddle because I can cook several sandwiches at the same time. For the ham, I like to use black forest ham. You can use either slices or shredded Monterey jack for the cheese. I like to serve these sandwiches with French fries. Enjoy.
Ham and Jack Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of French bread (or any other type of bread)

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Generously butter one side of the bread and place butter side down onto the griddle. Place 1 slice of cheese on top of the bread. Layer 2 slices of ham on top of the cheese and top with an additional slice of cheese.
