Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sliced sourdough bread
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese
- 8 slices thinly sliced deli ham
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of 4 slices of sourdough bread.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of the remaining 4 slices of sourdough bread.
Layer 2 slices of thinly sliced deli ham and 1/2 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese on the Dijon mustard side of each bread slice.
Top with the mayonnaise-coated bread slices, mayonnaise side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet (you may need to work in batches). Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and crispy.
Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute. Cut in half before serving.
