Even though my mind is drifting toward fall goodies, it’s still officially summer, and it’s definitely warm out there. When it’s hot like this, I have zero interest in sweating the day away in the kitchen.

Thank goodness for air conditioning, right? I honestly don’t know how I ever lived without it. Back in college, the dorms had AC, but they wouldn’t turn it on unless the temperature stayed above 80 degrees for five consecutive nights. Not days, nights. So, let’s just say those first two years were… toasty. Thankfully, I moved off-campus later and could finally enjoy a cool apartment.

Of course, in those days, I wasn’t doing much cooking anyway. Toasting a bagel or heating up soup was about the extent of it. Fast forward to now, I love cooking, but not when the weather’s boiling. That’s when I turn to easy, no-fuss meals like this Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich.

It’s simple, quick, and full of flavor: thinly sliced honey ham, melty Swiss cheese, juicy tomatoes, and crispy bacon, all layered between slices of bread that are grilled until golden and crisp, thanks to a little mayo on the outside. Just six ingredients and hardly any prep, and you’ve got a satisfying sandwich ready in no time.

If you’re a fan of grilled cheese, you’re going to love this elevated version. It hits all the right notes, sweet, savory, melty, crispy, and tastes like something straight out of a café, only made right in your own kitchen.
