Tostado de Jamón y Queso

Dinner decisions, handled: Tostado de Jamón y Queso pairs sandwich bread with ham for a 12-minute Argentinian breakfast. At 628 calories and 47g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 2 slices Sandwich bread
• 3 oz Ham
• 3 oz Mozzarella
• 1 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Butter the outside of both bread slices — buttered outside is what gives a tostado its shattering crust.
2. Layer ham and mozzarella inside, keeping the cheese tucked in from the edges so it does not leak.
3. Press in a hot skillet or sandwich press 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and the cheese pulls in strings.
4. Rest 1 minute, cut on the diagonal, and eat while the cheese is still molten.
5. Let it rest 1 minute before cutting — the cheese needs a moment to go from molten to stretchy.
