Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

• 8 slices sourdough or rustic bread
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 8 slices provolone or mozzarella
• 1 pound sliced deli ham or turkey
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 handful fresh spinach or arugula
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ons

• Cooked bacon strips
• Pesto

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the grill

1. Preheat the Arteflame grill until the cooktop is evenly heated.
2. Choose a medium-high heat zone for sandwich cooking.
3. Ensure the surface is lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Build the sandwiches

1. Butter one side of each bread slice.
2. Layer cheddar and provolone on the inside.
3. Add ham or turkey, tomato, onions, and greens.
4. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Grill the sandwiches

1. Place each sandwich butter-side down on the grill.
2. Press gently with a spatula for even browning.
3. Cook 3–5 minutes per side until golden and melty.
4. Move to a cooler zone if cheese needs extra melting time.

Step 4: Rest and serve

1. Remove from the grill and let rest for 1 minute.
2. Slice diagonally and serve warm.

Tips

Small adjustments make these grilled sandwiches even better. Let the bread reach room temperature so it crisps evenly, and avoid overloading fillings to keep the melt consistent. A gentle press helps the sandwich sear without crushing it. If your grill has hotter spots, rotate the sandwich once during cooking for uniform browning.

• Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting.
• Add spreads after grilling if you want more texture contrast.
• Choose sturdy bread to prevent sogginess.

Variations

Grilled sandwiches are easy to customize, and the Arteflame surface gives you room to experiment. Mix up meats, cheeses, spreads, and vegetables to match your taste. These variations offer simple ways to keep the recipe exciting every time you fire up the grill.

• Smoky BBQ chicken with cheddar and red onion
• Caprese-style mozzarella, tomato, basil, and pesto
• Turkey, Swiss, spinach, and honey mustard
• Spicy jalapeño, pepper jack, and chipotle mayo
• Bacon, cheddar, and caramelized onions

Best pairings

These sandwiches pair beautifully with bold, crisp, or smoky sides. A good pairing balances richness and adds freshness or crunch. Whether serving these sandwiches at a backyard cookout or a quick weeknight meal, these options help round out the plate.

• Grilled corn or roasted vegetables
