New Jersey Pork Roll Egg and Cheese Melt

Pork roll, egg and American cheese make the New Jersey griddle sandwich, here pressed between crisp white bread instead of a round roll. Score the meat slices so they stay flat in the skillet. Ketchup is optional but traditional enough to be offered at the table.
