Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Sourdough bread (or your preferred bread)
- 8 ounces beef ham (preferably honey or Black Forest ham)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (soft, for spreading)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for extra kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the honey mustard. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, and optional apple cider vinegar. Stir well until everything is combined, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. Wait until the butter is melted and slightly foamy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Place two slices of Sourdough bread in the skillet and generously spread them with the honey mustard mixture. This should be evenly distributed to season the sandwich.
- Top the spread slices of bread with 4 ounces of beef ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Leave the other two slices of bread unspread for now.
- Place the unspread slices on top of the filled slices. Cook the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and add the remaining butter to the top slice. Cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Once the sandwich is done, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut it diagonally to reveal the filling. Serve warm and enjoy!
