Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Smoked cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Deli-sliced ham
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Arugula
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of smoked cheddar cheese and 3 slices of deli-sliced ham onto two of the bread slices.
Step 4
Add a small handful of arugula on top of the ham for a fresh, peppery bite.
Step 5
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, mustard-side down, to complete the sandwiches.
Step 6
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich, coating evenly for a golden crust.
Step 7
If using a panini press, place the sandwiches inside and close the press, cooking for 4–6 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty. If using a skillet, place the sandwiches in the pan and press down with a heavy plate or spatula. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully.
Step 8
Remove the panini from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Smoked Cheddar Ham Panini!
