Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 slices Plant-based ham slices
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 handful Spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Begin by preheating a large non-stick skillet or sandwich press on medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of bread generously. If the butter is chilled, allow it to soften slightly for easier spreading.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and grate the cheddar cheese.
Assemble the toasties by spreading a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the unbuttered sides of two bread slices.
On top of the mustard, place two slices of plant-based ham, a layer of cheese, a few tomato slices, and a handful of spinach leaves for each sandwich.
Top with the remaining cheese and then close each sandwich with the other buttered bread slice, ensuring the buttered side is on the outside.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet or sandwich press, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool for a minute before cutting them in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey, and flavorful vegetarian cheese and ham toasties.
