Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 slices deli ham
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the sandwich spread. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the baby spinach and a small pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Lay the bread butter-side down on a clean surface like a cutting board.
On two slices of the bread (the unbuttered side), spread the mayonnaise-Dijon mixture evenly.
Layer each of these two slices with 2 slices of deli ham, half of the sautéed spinach, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, and sprinkle 0.25 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Place the other two slices of bread on top, butter-side facing out, to form a sandwich.
Heat the non-stick skillet over medium heat again. Gently place the sandwiches in the skillet. Press down lightly with a spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheese Ham Spinach Melt!
