Spread the Dijon mustard on one slice of the gluten-free bread and mayonnaise on the other slice.
Place the slices of ham and cheddar cheese on the mustard-coated bread slice, then top with the mayonnaise-coated bread slice to form a sandwich.
Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the top of the sandwich.
Place the sandwich butter side down on the heated skillet, then spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on the top of the sandwich.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is also golden and crisp.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
