Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices ham
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Place the slices of bread on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon of butter, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Flip the slices over and spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the opposite side of one slice.
Place the cheddar cheese slices on the mustard-coated side of the bread without butter, followed by the slices of ham.
Cover the ham and cheese with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out to form a sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, place the sandwich butter-side-down onto the skillet.
Cook the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Press down slightly on the sandwich with a spatula to ensure even cooking and to meld the ingredients.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious grilled ham and cheese sandwich!
