Spread half a tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board or plate.
Spread Dijon mustard over the unbuttered side of the bread.
Lay the sliced ham evenly over the mustard-covered bread slice.
Place the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of the other slice of bread.
Add a leaf of lettuce and two slices of tomato on top of the cheese.
Place the second slice of bread on top of the tomato, buttered side up, to complete the sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Flip the sandwich and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Slice in half and serve immediately.
