Begin by preparing the sandwich filling. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until well combined.
Spread the butter on one side of each low carb bread slice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of the bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Layer the ham, cheddar cheese, and the mayo-mustard mixture over the bread in the skillet.
Add the lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Season the filling with salt and black pepper.
Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Once cooked, remove from skillet and allow it to rest for a minute before slicing in half.
Serve your Low Carb Classic Ham Cheese Sandwich immediately for best taste.
