Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole grain bread slices
• 8 slices Vegan ham slices
• 4 slices Cheddar-style vegan cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter or vegan butter
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or a panini press if you have one.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of butter or vegan butter on one side of each bread slice.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the non-buttered side of two bread slices.

Step 4

Layer 4 slices of vegan ham on top of each mustard-spread bread slice.

Step 5

Add slices of tomato over the vegan ham, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Top with fresh spinach leaves.

Step 7

Place a slice of cheddar-style vegan cheese on top of the spinach.

Step 8

Complete the sandwich by placing the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side out.

Step 9

Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet or directly onto the hot panini press.

Step 10

If using the oven, bake for about 5 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melty. If using a panini press, grill for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
