Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices thinly sliced ham
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
Spread a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard on one side of two slices of bread. Spread mayonnaise on one side of the remaining two slices.
Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the Dijon mustard side of one slice of bread. Add 2 slices of ham, followed by 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the mayonnaise-coated slice of bread (mayonnaise side facing inward) to assemble the sandwich. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. While the skillet heats, generously butter the outer sides of the sandwiches.
Place both sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Gently press the sandwiches with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent grilled ham and cheese sandwich!
