Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 slices deli-style ham
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Instructions
Spread a light layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the outer layer for toasting.
On the non-buttered side of one slice of bread, spread the Dijon mustard evenly. Set aside.
On the non-buttered side of the other slice of bread, spread the mayonnaise evenly. This balances the flavors with a creamy touch.
Layer the cheddar cheese slices on top of the mustard-covered bread, followed by the slices of ham.
Place the mayonnaise-covered bread slice on top of the ham, ensuring the mayonnaise side faces inward toward the filling.
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Place the assembled sandwich onto the heated skillet, buttered side down. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using the spatula.
Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
