Step 1
Start by heating your outdoor grill to medium, around 325 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Give the grill grate a light brush of oil so nothing sticks. Lay out 8 pretzels on a baking sheet, placing them so the salty side is down. Pile the ham and cheese evenly on top of these pretzels, then cover each with another pretzel, this time salty side facing up. Carefully move your pretzel sandwiches to the grill. To keep them pressed and help everything melt together, place a heavy oven-safe skillet or some foil-wrapped bricks on top. Close the grill lid and cook the sandwiches for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is nice and melted. Enjoy right away!
Why you’ll love it
This sandwich combines the salty, chewy goodness of pretzel bread with melty cheese and savory ham. It’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures that feels both comforting and a little special. Great for a quick lunch or an easy dinner.
How to serve
Serve with a side of tangy mustard or a crisp pickle to cut through the richness. A simple green salad or some crunchy coleslaw also pairs nicely and adds freshness to the meal.
Storage & leftovers
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melted, avoiding the microwave if possible.
