Ham and cheese toast is a classic, quick, and satisfying dish originating from Western cuisine, often associated with European breakfast or café fare. It consists of sliced bread topped with layers of savory ham and melted cheese, typically cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère, and is toasted or grilled until golden and bubbly. The dish is high in protein from the ham and cheese, while the bread provides an energy-boosting source of carbohydrates. It’s a good source of calcium due to the cheese, which supports bone health. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the type and quantity of cheese and ham used. Healthier versions can be made using whole-grain bread, low-fat cheese, and lean ham. Ham and cheese toast is versatile and can be enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or light meal in numerous variations worldwide.
