Ingredients

• 2 slices Vegetarian ham slices
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded (vegetarian-friendly)
• 2 slices Bread slices (whole wheat or white)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (or plant-based butter)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. These will be the outer sides of your sandwich that will toast in the pan.

Step 3

On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread Dijon mustard and/or mayonnaise if using.

Step 4

Place one slice of vegetarian ham on top of the mustard/mayo spread, followed by the cheese, and then the second slice of vegetarian ham. Top with the second bread slice, buttered side facing out.

Step 5

Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.

Step 6

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it in half.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetarian Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich!
