Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay out the 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a clean, flat surface. Ensure each sheet is large enough to wrap a sandwich completely.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread (this will help the sandwiches toast while baking).
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Layer one slice of cheese and two slices of deli meat on the mayonnaise side of four of the bread slices.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outward, to assemble the sandwiches.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil. Seal the edges to create a secure pocket but avoid pressing down too hard to retain the bread’s shape.
Place the wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning the sandwiches halfway through, until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly before unwrapping. Serve immediately or pack for later!
