Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 ounces Ham (sliced)
- 4 ounces Gouda cheese (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 handful Fresh arugula (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread. This will be the exterior of the sandwiches.
Step 3
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread the mustard-mayo mixture evenly.
Step 4
Layer 2 ounces of ham and 2 ounces of Gouda cheese on top of the mustard-mayo mixture. Optionally, add a small handful of fresh arugula for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 5
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Step 6
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the pan is hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the bread turns golden and crispy.
Step 8
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, pressing gently with the spatula to ensure even toasting. The cheese should be fully melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your perfectly toasted Ham and Gouda Sandwiches!
