Ingredients
- 2 pieces bread slices
- 2 slices cheese
- 2 slices ham
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. This will be the side that touches the pan during cooking.
Step 2
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread mayonnaise evenly. Add mustard if using.
Step 3
Lay the cheese slices on top of the mayonnaise, followed by the ham slices.
Step 4
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Once warm, place the sandwich onto the pan.
Step 7
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing it in half.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade toasted sandwich!
