Ingredients
Scale
To make your Honey Mustard Ham & Cheese Sandwich, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 slices of whole grain or white bread
- 4 oz sliced deli ham (preferably thick-cut)
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
- Lettuce or arugula (optional, for added crunch)
- Pickles (optional, for added tang)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Spread Honey Mustard: Lay the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread one tablespoon of honey mustard on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the Ham: Place two ounces of ham on one slice of bread, on top of the honey mustard. Make sure the ham is evenly distributed.
- Add Cheese: Lay a slice of Swiss cheese (or cheese of your choice) on top of the ham, ensuring it covers the meat completely.
- Add Extras (Optional): If desired, layer on lettuce or arugula for a fresh, crunchy bite. Add pickles for extra tang.
Grill the Sandwich:
- Butter the Bread: Lightly butter the outside of both slices of bread.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure an even crisp on both sides.
Serve:
- Serve Immediately: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Cut it in half for easy eating and serve warm.
