Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices smoked Gouda cheese
- 8 slices deli-style ham
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 handful arugula (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey to create a spread. Set aside.
Step 2
Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a flat surface. Spread the mustard mixture evenly on one side of each slice.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of smoked Gouda cheese and 4 slices of deli-style ham on two of the bread slices. Add arugula on top if desired.
Step 4
Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down, to form two sandwiches.
Step 5
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt completely.
Step 6
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Flip the sandwiches, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
