Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices vegan sandwich bread
- 2 slices vegan cheese slices
- 3 slices vegan ham slices
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by spreading a thin layer of dijon mustard on one side of each slice of vegan sandwich bread.
Place one slice of bread, mustard side up, onto a clean surface. Layer one slice of vegan cheese, followed by the vegan ham slices, another slice of vegan cheese, and finally the baby spinach.
Sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the spinach.
Top with the second slice of bread, mustard side down, to form a sandwich.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan butter on the outside of one bread slice. Place the sandwich, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
While it's cooking, spread the remaining tablespoon of vegan butter on the top slice of bread.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
