Ingredients
- 2 slices almond flour bread, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 4 slices honey-baked ham, thinly sliced
- 2 slices swiss cheese, sliced
- 0.5 whole avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh arugula

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the middle.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on each slice of almond flour bread.
Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Spread an even layer of dijon mustard over the buttered side of each bread slice.
Lay two slices of honey-baked ham on each piece of bread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Top each sandwich with a slice of Swiss cheese, placed over the ham.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
While the sandwiches are in the oven, slice the half avocado thinly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sandwiches cool slightly.
Top each sandwich with avocado slices, then sprinkle with fresh arugula.
Finish with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
