Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices ham
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by thinly slicing the Granny Smith apple into round slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Remove the core if necessary.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help create a golden, crispy exterior.
On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, spread 1 tablespoon of honey mustard evenly.
Layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of ham, and a few slices of apple onto each of the two honey mustard-coated bread slices. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top of the apple slices for extra flavor.
Place the remaining slices of bread (butter side out) on top of each sandwich to close them.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once warm, place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the bread toast evenly.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for 1 minute, then slice in half, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
