Ingredients

• 2 slices Bread slices
• 2 slices Ham
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by laying the slices of bread on a cutting board.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 3

Turn the slices over and spread the Dijon mustard on one of the unbuttered sides of the bread.

Step 4

Place the two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the mustard-spread slice.

Step 5

Add the ham slices over the cheese, ensuring they lay flat and don't overhang the bread.

Step 6

Sprinkle the ham lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing outwards.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the pan is warm, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet.

Step 10

Cook the toastie for about 4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula for even grilling.

Step 11

Remove the toastie from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.

Step 12

Slice the toastie diagonally and serve immediately.
