Ingredients to Make Keto Grilled Cheese

  • Deli sliced ham – I used three pieces of thinly sliced ham per side.
  • Deli sliced cheese – Use your favorite, I used swiss cheese. You could also use your favorite shreaded cheese but using shredded cheese could make the sandwiches hard to flip unless you make sure the cheese is melted before flipping.
