Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice half a tomato into thin, round pieces.
Spread half of the unsalted butter evenly over one side of each slice of the bread.
On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, spread the low sodium mustard evenly.
Layer the sandwich by first placing the lettuce leaf over the mustard-covered slice, followed by the slices of low sodium cooked ham.
Place the slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
Add the slices of tomato over the cheese and sprinkle with black pepper for added flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwich on the preheated skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, about 2-3 more minutes.
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet, allow it to cool slightly, and serve warm.
