How to Cook Ham & Swiss Cheese Garlic-Enhanced Sandwich
- Peel and crush (mince) one clove of garlic. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and add the minced garlic. Cook slowly to infuse the garlic flavour into the butter and until the butter begins to turn brown (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve to remove any small garlic pieces..
- Lay out four slices of bread (remove the crusts if you want) on a work surface. Layer each with a slice of the cheese, some ham and then some of the cornichons sliced lengthwise. Top with a second slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread and brush the outsides with the garlic-enhanced butter until fully coated on both sides.
- Place two sandwiches into a frying pan over medium heat. Cover the frying pan with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is evenly golden brown. Flip the sandwich, cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown on the other side and the cheese has visibly melted. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches (or run a second frying pan and cook all at the same time).
- If desired (so this bit's optional!) peel the other clove of garlic and cut in two lengthways. Rub the outside of the toasted bread with the garlic halves to add a little more garlic flavour (yeah, I know, I like garlic!).

If you like the flavour of garlic without it tasting too strong, before crushing or chopping, cut the cloves down the middle long-ways and remove the central 'germ' (the thin stem that looks like a pale green or translucent vein). You will still be able to enjoy the flavour without everybody referring to you as "The Garlic Dragon" afterwards.
Reviews of Ham & Swiss Cheese Garlic-Enhanced Sandwich
![]() I like the hot tip about cutting the garlic cloves down the middle long-ways and removing the central 'germ'. That really does work. I thought the garlic might be too strong but it wasn't and it wasn't lingering on my taste buds afterwards. The sandwiches were really delicious. HarryC (7 reviews) |

Other Pork Recipes

Sausage and onion hash with eggs cracked over is definitely worth getting out of bed for

Sometimes, though, a whole pork pie is just too much, and that's when I like to pick up a Mini Pork Pie with Quail's Egg.

Pork Tenderloin in Brandy & Orange is a little "secret gem" of mine. It's prepared and cooked in minutes yet looks and tastes like you've spend hours
