Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (thick-cut, such as sourdough or country white)
- 3 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
Place both slices of bread on a clean surface or cutting board. If desired, spread Dijon mustard evenly over one side of one bread slice.
Layer the sliced ham and cheese on top of the mustard-covered bread slice or directly on one slice of bread if skipping mustard. Top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly over the outside face of the top bread slice.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Place the sandwich, buttered side down, into the skillet. Carefully spread the remaining tablespoon of butter over the top (now exposed) bread slice.
Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula for even browning.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute. Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
