Mini toasts layered with cream cheese, Comte and ham, grilled until melty, topped with chives. Party-sized grilled cheese, French style.

Ingredients

• Mini-toast (carré) × 6
• 25 g Cream cheese
• 10 g Comté cheese
• 1 slice Ham (deli slices)
• 0.1 bunch Chives (fresh)
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 g Black pepper
• 15 g Butter

Method

1. Spread

   

   Take the mini-toasts and spread the cream cheese on each slice.

2. Add Cheese

   

   Add the sliced or grated cheese.

3. Assemble

   

   Season with pepper, then add a piece of ham on one side. Close the mini-sandwiches and repeat with the remaining toasts.

4. Cook

   

   In a frying pan over medium heat, add a knob of butter (or a drizzle of olive oil) and cook the mini grilled cheeses for 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Watch closely so they don't burn.

5. Rest

   

   Turn off the stove, remove the pan from the burner, cover the pan, and let the sandwich sit for about 1 minute — the trapped heat finishes melting the cheese.

6. Serve

   

   Serve the mini grilled cheeses immediately, topped with a little chopped chives if you have some.
