Ham and Cheese on Crumpet

Ham and Cheese on Crumpet

You will need:
·        1 pack of crumpets
·        6 small slices of ham
·        Cheese (block preferably)
·        A sharp knife
·        A cutting board
·        Griller  or oven
·        Oven tray if browning inside oven
·        A plate for serving

Time:
Around 5 -10 minutes

Serves:
2-3 people

Cost:
I managed to get my hands on packets of crumpets for 49 cents each
Normally they are $2.50 a packet
A 250 gram block of cheese is around $3.50.
A 350 gram packet of ham is around the $6 range.
So this might cost around $12
but if you shop around for a bargain it may only cost you $10


Method :
Remove crumpets from packaging
Cut thin slices of cheese off block
Place small pieces of cheese on the bumpy side
Place ham on top of cheese
Place more cheese on top of ham
Use the griller or your oven to melt/brown cheese
Remove from griller, cut crumpets in half

Notes:
I used block cheese for this as it melts better, you can use already prepared grated cheese
 but I find that it just ends up everywhere.
You could use processed cheese but it just doesn’t melt, it will burn before it melts.
Do NOT use the toaster for this recipe
Do NOT brown inside oven unless on an oven tray.
Yes that is my thumb on the picture.


Warning! Melted cheese can be very hot
