I’m almost at a loss for words to describe this Broccoli Ham Grilled Cheese Sandwich, it is just that good! I guess I will say, let the pictures tell you everything you need to know about this sandwich. That melty cheese alone has me wanting to make one right this instant.

Broccoli Ham Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Several months ago I had, I guess the word is, “pinspiration” when I saw this utterly incredible photo of a Broccoli Grilled Cheese sandwich over at BS in the Kitchen.  It left me salivating and I never did forget about it.  I was purely inspired to make my rendition. This is my go-to sandwich when I have leftover Easter ham or leftover Christmas ham. It’s the perfect way to use up leftovers and get in some veggies with your favorite comforting grilled cheese sandwich. You could try other veggies added in, like tomatoes, spinach, arugula, or even potatoes!

Healthy Grilled Cheese

If you have tried my Healthier Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe then this recipe and cooking method will be familiar to you (though this version isn’t quite as healthy). Some may say if you are going to have a grilled cheese sandwich you may as well load on the butter, use white bread and just go all out. I say otherwise, not only because you should fry with olive oil and use whole grain bread for a healthier option, but I think it tastes better. I hope you adapt this cooking method for all your grilled cheese sandwiches, it’s a small and simple step to a healthier grilled cheese.  Enjoy!

ahh, that first bite…
