Slice the banana bread loaf into 8 even slices, about 1/2-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and honey until smooth to create a honey mustard spread. Set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or large skillet over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of banana bread. Place 4 slices, butter side down, onto the grill pan.
Top each slice of banana bread with 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 1/2 of a ham steak, and a small handful of arugula.
Spread a thin layer of the honey mustard mixture onto the non-buttered side of the remaining banana bread slices and place them on top of the sandwiches, mustard side down.
Press gently and cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the banana bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the grill pan, let cool slightly, and slice each sandwich in half if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and savory masterpiece!
