    Ingredients

    • 4 slices rye bread
    • 4 tbsp. salted butter at room temperature
    • Sprinkling seasoned salt
    • 1 cup provolone cheese shredded or 4 slices
    • 6 slices ham

    Instructions

    • Place the bread slices on a flat work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle seasoned salt over the buttered bread slices (don’t overdo it!).
    • Warm a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Layer each sandwich as follows: Slice of bread, butter side down, ½ cup shredded provolone cheese (or 2 slices), 3 slices ham, 4 slices salami, 2 tomato slices, ½ of the avocado slices, ½ cup shredded colby-jack cheese (or 2 slices) and slice of bread, butter side up.
    • Place sandwiches onto the hot skillet. Cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bottom layer of cheese begins to melt around the edges. Cut in half and serve!
