5 min. Gourmet toast

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 4 slices of toast or bread
• 4 slices of cooked ham
• 4 slices of cheese (butter cheese, Maasdam or medium-aged Gouda)
• some butter or margarine
• possibly garlic
• possibly herbs

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

Toast the bread. Place 1 or 1 1/2 slices of cheese on a plate and microwave them at 800-1000 watts for about 1 minute; this will crisp up the cheese. You can adjust the time the cheese is in the microwave depending on whether you want it soft or crispy (both are delicious). When the toast is done, spread butter or margarine on it, then add the cooked ham and sizzling cheese. In 5 minutes you’ll have a delicious gourmet toastie. Of course you can vary the toppings, but the cheese is the tastiest. It also tastes great when the toast is freshly rubbed with garlic while it’s hot, then sprinkled with butter, a few herbs, and the warm cheese (quite soft, not quite as crispy) on top.
