Lay the two slices of bread on a flat surface. If desired, spread mustard on one or both slices for added flavor.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on one piece of bread.
Layer the slices of ham on top of the cheese.
Place the second slice of cheddar cheese over the ham, and top it with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outside of the top slice of bread.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwich, butter-side-down, onto the heated skillet. While it cooks, spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on the top slice of bread.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
