To prevent your ham and cheese sandwich from getting soggy, start by spreading butter on both slices of wholemeal bread. The butter creates a barrier that keeps moisture out. Make sure to dry any vegetables, like baby romaine lettuce and sliced gherkins, with paper towels to remove extra moisture. You can also toast one side of the bread for added protection, and let it cool before buttering.

Method
1
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
2
Add a bed of gem lettuce.
3
Add slices of cheese and a slice of ham.
4
Top with cornichons.
TIP
Make ham and cheese toasties by spreading butter on the outside of one or both bread slices and frying the sandwich in a hot pan on both sides. The butter will create a golden, crisp crust while melting the cheese inside.
5
Close the sandwich butter side down, keeping the gherkins in place.
