This is where my camera battery died!
- Add a layer of Black Forest sliced ham (about 1/3 lb.)
- Then thinly sliced tomatoes.
- Top it all of with some gruyere cheese (about 1 C.)
- And broil until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
Man, I really wish I had a picture of the finished meal. It wasn't the cheapest meal to make but it was still only about $15. You can't go out to eat with 4 people for that price. So I say it's worth it.
