Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Black Forest ham
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly.
Layer 2 slices of Black Forest ham and 2 slices of cheddar cheese onto each of the slices with the Dijon mustard.
Season the ham lightly with a pinch of ground black pepper for added flavor.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent burning.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1-2 minutes, and cut in half before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Grilled Cheese and Black Forest Ham!
