This grilled ham and Gouda sandwich offers a sophisticated twist on a classic toasted favourite. By combining the smoky depth of thin-cut ham with the nutty richness of melted Gouda, this high-protein lunch feels truly indulgent.

Using a sturdy sourdough or country white bread ensures a satisfyingly crunchy crust when toasted in the frying pan. Serve these sandwiches immediately while the cheese is bubbling for the ultimate homemade comfort food experience.

How to make Grilled Ham and Gouda Sandwiches with Frisée and Caramelized Onions

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until onion is very tender and golden, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.

Butter 2 bread slices. Place bread, buttered side down, on platter. Divide onion, ham, cheese, and frisée between bread slices. Top each with another bread slice; butter top slices.

Heat another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally with spatula, about 4 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.
