Layer 2 slices of ham on each bottom half, followed by 1 slice of cheese on top of the ham.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the cheese and season with a pinch of black pepper.

Step 9

Return the assembled halves to the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
