Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices low carb bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces thinly sliced ham
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of low carb bread.
Place one slice of bread butter-side down onto the skillet.
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the unbuttered side of the slice in the skillet.
Layer the thinly sliced ham evenly over the mustard.
Place the cheddar cheese slices on top of the ham.
Spread the mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread and place it on top of the stack, butter-side up.
Gently press down on the sandwich with a spatula and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich using the spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
