Ingredients
- 2 pieces sliced bread
- 2 pieces sliced ham
- 2 pieces sliced cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
Lay both slices of bread flat on a cutting board.
If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one or both slices of bread.
Place one slice of cheese on top of one slice of bread.
Layer the sliced ham evenly on top of the cheese.
Add the second slice of cheese on top of the ham.
Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
Spread butter evenly on the outer side of both slices of bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down, and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and 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 let it rest for 1 minute before slicing.
Slice in half, serve warm, and enjoy.
