Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices French bread or sourdough
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Set the oven to broil (high setting) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
Spread the butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the Dijon mustard evenly.
Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the mustard-coated bread slice.
Sprinkle the cheese with black pepper and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Place the sandwich on a baking sheet or broiler-safe tray.
Position the tray about 4-6 inches from the broiler's heat source.
Broil the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Flip the sandwich using a spatula, and broil the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the broiler and let it cool for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
