Method
Sandwich
- 1
Prepare bread
Spread 1 tsp mayonnaise (optional) evenly on the inside surface of one bread slice. Spread 1/2 tbs (half of the butter) thinly on the outside of each bread slice (the sides that will contact the skillet).

Assemble sandwich
On the slice with mayonnaise, layer the ham evenly across the bread so it covers most of the surface. Place 1 slice provolone over the ham. Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper over the cheese if desired. Top with the second bread slice, buttered side facing out.

Toast sandwich
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 325–350°F / moderate). Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and press gently with a spatula. Cook 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 2–3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted. Reduce heat slightly if bread is browning too quickly before cheese melts.

Finish and serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let rest 1 minute. Cut diagonally in half if desired. Transfer to a plate.
