Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 200 grams honey ham
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard until well combined.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly onto one side of each sourdough bread slice.
Layer 4 slices of bread (mayonnaise side up) with 50 grams of honey ham, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 1 lettuce leaf, 2-3 slices of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomato and onion layers for added flavor.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread (mayonnaise side down).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan.
Place 2 sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding another tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Special Ham Sandwiches!
