Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Smoked ham
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Lay out the bread slices in pairs on a flat surface. Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of two of the slices.
Place 2 slices of smoked ham on top of each mustard-coated slice of bread.
Layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each ham-topped slice of bread.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread to form two complete sandwiches.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, salt, and ground black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly on the outside of each sandwich. This will help achieve a crisp and golden exterior.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the pan.
Place both sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure contact with the pan. Check occasionally to avoid burning, and adjust the heat as needed.
Flip the sandwiches when the first side is golden brown. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt. Cook the second side for another 3-4 minutes, again pressing gently to ensure an even toast.
Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a cutting board.
Slice the toasties diagonally and serve hot. Pair with a side salad, tomato soup, or enjoy on their own.
