Ingredients

  • 2 piece Sliced bread (thick-cut preferred)
  • 1/2 leaf Lettuce
  • 1 slice Thick-cut ham
  • 1 slice Sliced cheese
  • to taste Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the lettuce and pat it dry thoroughly with a paper towel. This ensures your sandwich won't be soggy.

    Time: 1 min
  2. 2.

    Lightly sear both sides of the thick-cut ham in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, until slightly golden and warmed through. This enhances its flavor.

    Time: 2 min
  3. 3.

    Evenly spread mayonnaise on one side of a bread slice.

  4. 4.

    Layer the lettuce, sliced cheese, and seared ham neatly on the bread slice with the mayonnaise.

    Time: 1 min
  5. 5.

    Top with the second slice of bread. If desired, cut the sandwich in half for easier eating, just like Sosuke's!

Tips

  • 💡For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the bread before spreading the mayonnaise.
  • 💡Try adding a thin slice of tomato or a dash of black pepper for a little extra kick.
  • 💡Using good quality, thick-cut bread really makes a difference for this simple sandwich.
