Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each of 2 slices of bread.
Top each mustard-spread slice with a slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of vegetarian ham, and a second slice of cheddar cheese.
Add a layer of lettuce and a couple of tomato slices on top of each stack. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Cover each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each slice of bread. Flip the sandwiches and spread butter on the other side as well.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before cutting the sandwiches in half. Serve warm.
