Directions

This one is pretty simple, no? Pile slices of ham and cheese onto half a pretzel roll. Place the top half over the pile. Place in grill basket. My pictures are from my misadventures with tin foil, but my final takeaway is that it makes sense to squish the sandwich into a grilling basket where I can easily monitor my progress and not burn the bread. Toast the sandwich so that the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Then enjoy!
