Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ham slices
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices Sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 1 small Carrot
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the coleslaw: Finely shred the green cabbage and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to form the coleslaw dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the rest of the sandwich.
Butter one side of each slice of bread using the unsalted butter.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
Add two slices of ham and two slices of cheese on top of each piece of bread in the skillet.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up. Cook for 2–3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve with a generous portion of the chilled coleslaw on the side or inside the sandwich for extra crunch.
