Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 4 slices Wafer-thin ham
- 2 oz Gruyere cheese
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tsp Yellow mustard
- 1 handful Arugula or baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Split the English muffins in half and set them aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and lightly coat the pan.
Toast the English muffins in the skillet, cut side down, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on the toasted side of each muffin half.
Top one half of each English muffin with a slice of Gruyere cheese, followed by 2 slices of wafer-thin ham.
If desired, place a small handful of arugula or baby spinach on top of the ham.
Place the other muffin half on top to assemble the sandwich.
Return the sandwiches to the skillet on low heat, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts (about 2-3 minutes per side). Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Serve warm and enjoy!
