Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut Carolina-style country ham
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices Thick-sliced sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and black pepper to create a smooth, tangy spread. Set aside.

Step 2

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread evenly with unsalted butter. Spread the mustard mixture on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.

Step 3

Layer 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of the mustard-spread side of each slice of bread.

Step 4

Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out, to form two sandwiches.

Step 5

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 7

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Carolina Ham Cheese Melt!
