Ingredients

• 4 Sourdough bread slices
• 4 slices Deli-sliced ham
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered side of each slice, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.

Step 4

Flip the bread over and spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard (if using) onto the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.

Step 5

Layer 2 slices of deli-sliced ham and 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the mustard-spread side of each sandwich base.

Step 6

Top with the remaining slices of bread, Parmesan-coated side out, to form sandwiches.

Step 7

Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let rest for 1-2 minutes, and slice in half before serving.
