Spread the Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of Paleo bread.

Add the Paleo-friendly ham slices on top of the cheese.
Place the tomato slice and a few arugula leaves over the ham.
Top with the second slice of dairy-free cheese.
Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich, with the mustard-coated side facing inward.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or ghee.
Once the oil is hot, place the sandwich in the skillet.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the Paleo bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and allow the sandwich to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo-friendly grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
