Cordon bleu

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Cheddar and mozzarella work best for this dish, but you can use any other cheese of your choice. It's better to slice the ham as thin as possible. Don't be lazy—secure the pocket well with a toothpick to prevent the cheese from leaking out. Don't forget to serve with a sauce of your choice. Everything is quick and easy to prepare, yet the result is impressive. Serve hot.
