- 2 tablespoons margarine made with extra virgin olive oil
- 4 thin slices of American cheese or the cheese of your preference.
- 4 thin slices of lean ham
Instructions
- Cut each bread section in half lengthwise.
- Layer bread with thin slices of cheese and ham. Cover with the other half of bread.
- Spread soft butter or margarine on the outside of bread both top and bottom.
- Place the sandwiches on the heated flat surface grill. Bring down upper plate to flatten sandwiches.
- Grill sandwiches until cheese is melted and outer bread has a crispy texture.

Notes
Pan Sobao is our bread. It is semi-sweet with a soft crust on the outside and a light chewy texture inside. It is similar to French bread. Sometimes I use French rolls when pan sobao is not available at the Latin Market.
