03 — Method
- Preheat the broiler to 200 °C (400 °F) and lightly butter one side of each slice of sandwich bread.
- Top half the slices with ham and a good handful of grated cheese, then cover with a second slice to make four sandwiches.
- Place on the sheet, top with the rest of the grated cheese mixed with a little milk and broil a few minutes.
- Watch until the cheese is melted and browned and the bread golden, without letting them burn.
- Cut a wide toothy mouth in the top of each with a knife to show the melted cheese.
- Spear two green olives on toothpicks and stick them above the mouth for eyes. Serve hot right away.
