Ingredients
Scale
- Sourdough or Rye Bread
- Lean Sliced Beef Ham
- Swiss Cheese Slices
- Homemade or Store-Bought Honey Mustard
- Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard (for homemade honey mustard)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (for homemade honey mustard)
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (for homemade honey mustard)
- 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar (for homemade honey mustard)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Honey Mustard (If Homemade): In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a tiny splash (about 1/2 teaspoon) of white vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
- Butter the Bread Slices: Lay out your bread slices on a clean surface. Generously butter one side of each slice right to the edges.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Flip two of your buttered bread slices over so the unbuttered side is facing up. On one of these slices, place a layer of Swiss cheese. Then, pile on a generous amount of your lean beef ham. Next, spread a good dollop of your honey mustard over the beef ham. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese. Finally, place the other unbuttered bread slice on top, ensuring the buttered side is facing outwards.
- Preheat Your Pan or Griddle: Heat a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat.
- Grill the Sandwich: Carefully place the assembled sandwich into the hot pan, buttered side down. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom slice is deeply golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish Grilling: Once the first side is perfectly golden, carefully flip the sandwich over. Continue to grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown and the Swiss cheese inside is completely melted and gooey.
- Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the grilled sandwich from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, slice it diagonally in half. Serve immediately.
