Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 slices deli ham
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth. Spread this mixture on the non-buttered side of two slices of bread.
Place 2 slices of ham on top of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice of bread.
Layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese over the ham on each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the second side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve hot and enjoy your Ham Cheese Pleeze!
