Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded (vegetarian-friendly)
- 2 slices Bread slices (whole wheat or white)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (or plant-based butter)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. These will be the outer sides of your sandwich that will toast in the pan.
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread Dijon mustard and/or mayonnaise if using.
Place one slice of vegetarian ham on top of the mustard/mayo spread, followed by the cheese, and then the second slice of vegetarian ham. Top with the second bread slice, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetarian Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich!
