How to Make Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Preheat the broiler.

Take a baking sheet and place four whole wheat bread slices on it.
Now, spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mix on each of the bread slice.
Top each of the bread pieces with an ounce of ham slices.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of cheddar cheese over the half sandwiches and put top bread slice on all four sandwiches.
Broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and bread is lightly browned.

Note: you can add more toppings, cheese and meat according to your taste.

Trivia

The sandwich is named after Lord Sandwich, a gambler who didn’t have the time to eat during the plays so he would order his servants to bring him pieces of meat in between the slices of bread.
