Irish Toasted Special

An Irish Toasted Special calls for simple ingredients yet is incredibly delicious! In my version of this classic pub sandwich; fried ham, thinly sliced tomatoes, red onion and melty Irish cheddar is stacked between skillet-toasted bread. Yields 1 sandwich but can easily be doubled to serve more.
