How To Make A Barbecued Ham, Cheddar And Pear Sandwich

Step 1: You will need...

Step 2: Prepare the barbecue

If you have a charcoal barbeque light it 30-45 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white. If you are using a gas barbeque, light it up on high and leave it for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Melt the butter

Place the small saucepan over a high heat and add the butter. When it begins to bubble, use the brush to give it a quick stir and then remove from it the heat.

Step 4: Season the bread

Brush the top side of each slice of bread with the melted butter and then season it with a little salt and pepper. Don't add too much salt since ham is naturally salty. Finally, turn each piece of bread over and coat the other side with the butter.

Step 5: Put the sandwich together

Add the cheese, ham, rocket and pear to both sandwiches then top with the other half of bread.

Step 6: Barbecue the sandwiches

Put both sandwiches onto the barbecue and place the heavy pan or plate on top to press them down. Grill them for 2 minutes. Now turn the sandwiches over, place the pan back on top and grill for a further couple of minutes.

Step 7: Slice and serve

Slice each sandwich in half and serve while hot with a small salad.
