For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of béchamel sauce to the inside of the sandwich before grilling. Use high-quality ham and cheese for the best flavor. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, as this can lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy sandwiches. Serve immediately for the ultimate crispy, cheesy experience.
