Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices vegetarian ham slices
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh spinach
Instructions
Begin by spreading a thin layer of wholegrain mustard on one side of each of the sourdough bread slices.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the mustard for two of the bread slices.
Layer two slices of vegetarian ham on top of each cheese slice.
Distribute the fresh spinach evenly and season lightly with black pepper.
Top with the remaining slice of cheddar cheese for each toastie.
Place the remaining slices of sourdough bread on top, mustard side down, to form the sandwiches.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of each sandwich, which will help create a golden crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and allow it to melt.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
After cooking, remove the toasties from the skillet, let them cool slightly, then slice them in half and serve.
