As it grills, the outside turns audibly crisp, the interior bubbling into a molten, savory custard.

It’s comfort food with a touch of flair, playful and a little indulgent… kind of like staying in with takeout but turning the lights down low and pretending you’ve got company coming.
Golden, buttery slices of hearty potato bread cradle layers of thinly sliced ham and rich, velvety Havarti cheese.

It’s the kind of sandwich that crackles when you cut into it—and oozes just enough to make you pause and appreciate the artistry of melted cheese.
