Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 ounces Ham (sliced)
- 4 ounces Gouda cheese (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 handful Fresh arugula (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread. This will be the exterior of the sandwiches.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread the mustard-mayo mixture evenly.
Layer 2 ounces of ham and 2 ounces of Gouda cheese on top of the mustard-mayo mixture. Optionally, add a small handful of fresh arugula for extra flavor and crunch.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the bread turns golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with the spatula to ensure even toasting. The cheese should be fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your perfectly toasted Ham and Gouda Sandwiches!
