Hot Cross Bun Grilled Cheese

Sweet hot cross buns per­fect­ly com­ple­ment creamy, melt­ed ched­dar cheese and salty ham. It's slathered in but­ter and pressed in­to a per­fect and com­fort­ing grilled cheese sand­wich.

We used smoked ham and Ched­dar but chose any com­bi­na­tion you'd like. We bet ba­con, egg and sliced Amer­i­can cheese would make an amaz­ing break­fast sand­wich.
