Ingredients
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 8 slices sliced ham
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons optional mustard
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. For extra flavor, add a thin layer of mustard on half of the slices if desired.
Step 3
Layer a slice of ham on top of the mayonnaise side of four bread slices. Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese followed by another slice of ham.
Step 4
Place the remaining bread slices on top with the mayonnaise side facing inwards to form a sandwich.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the outside of each sandwich with butter. Sprinkle each side with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Place the sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing in half if desired. Serve warm!
