Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 slices thinly sliced ham
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Spread a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard on one side of two slices of bread. Spread mayonnaise on one side of the remaining two slices.

Step 2

Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the Dijon mustard side of one slice of bread. Add 2 slices of ham, followed by 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the mayonnaise-coated slice of bread (mayonnaise side facing inward) to assemble the sandwich. Repeat for the second sandwich.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. While the skillet heats, generously butter the outer sides of the sandwiches.

Step 4

Place both sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Gently press the sandwiches with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Step 5

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 6

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before slicing in half.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent grilled ham and cheese sandwich!
