Preparation Instructions
Assemble the Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer with ham and half of the Gruyère cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the Sandwich
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, adding the remaining cheese on top before flipping.
Serve
Once the sandwich is cooked and the cheese is melted, place the fried egg on top of the sandwich. Serve hot.
