- Butter – For Spreading
- Balsamic Vinegar – A Dash
- Olive Oil – A Dash
- Oregano – A Pinch

Directions
- Start by placing the ham on top of the bread, followed by half a thinly sliced tomato. Season the tomato with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a pinch of oregano, pepper, and salt.
- Now place the cheese slices on top, followed by the slice of bread, and put everything in a hot press toaster.
- When the cheese is melted and the bread is well toasted on the outside, it’s ready. Remove from the toaster, spread butter on the outside, and enjoy! ;D
Let the tomato slices sit on paper towels for a few minutes after slicing to remove excess moisture.
For extra flavor, try using aged cheddar or gruyere instead of Flemish cheese If you don’t have a sandwich press, use a heavy skillet and press down with a spatula, flipping once.
The balsamic vinegar adds a lovely tang – don’t skip it!
Butter the outside of the bread before toasting for an even crispier, golden crust.
Serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and the bread is crispy.
