Ingredients
- 8 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 pound Sliced deli ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Lay the sourdough bread slices on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of all 8 slices.
Step 2
On 4 of the bread slices, spread ½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard over the mayonnaise layer.
Step 3
Lay down 3-4 slices of deli ham on top of the mustard-spread bread slices.
Step 4
Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese over the ham on each sandwich half.
Step 5
Add a handful of arugula (approximately ½ cup per sandwich) on top of the Swiss cheese layer.
Step 6
Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Add 2-3 tomato slices on top of the arugula for each sandwich.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the tomato layer.
Step 8
Close the sandwiches by placing the remaining bread slices (mayonnaise-side down) on top of the assembled layers.
Step 9
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.
Step 10
Place a sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted. Add more butter to the skillet between batches as needed.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Step 12
Serve warm with your favorite sides or enjoy as is!
