Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Soft pretzels
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 4 slices Sliced ham (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Slice each soft pretzel in half horizontally to create top and bottom halves.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the cut side of each pretzel half. If you'd like a touch of sweetness, drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey on top of the mustard for each sandwich.
Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each pretzel. Add 2 slices of ham if using.
Cover with the top half of the pretzel to assemble the sandwich.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet.
Place one assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pretzel is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Repeat for the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.
Remove from the skillet, let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes, and serve warm.
