Ingredients
- 4 slices Pumpernickel bread
- 4 slices Gouda cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 handful Baby spinach (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1/2 teaspoon of whole-grain mustard on one side of each slice of pumpernickel bread. For a slight sweetness, drizzle a thin line of honey over the mustard.
Step 2
Place one slice of Gouda cheese on each of two slices of the bread.
Step 3
If using baby spinach, layer a handful of leaves evenly over the cheese.
Step 4
Top with another slice of Gouda cheese, then place the remaining mustard-spread bread slices on top, mustard-side down, forming two sandwiches.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Step 6
While the pan is heating, spread 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich, on both sides.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese.
Step 8
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has fully melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly before cutting them in half for serving.
