Method

Preparations

  1. 1

    Preheat and prep pan

    Place a heavy skillet over medium heat to preheat while you assemble the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Prepare buttered bread

    Set out the bread slices and have butter softened for easy spreading. Using a small knife, spread butter on one side of each slice.

Assemble

  1. 3

    Mustard on inner faces

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

  2. 4

    Add ham and cheese

    Layer 226 g of sliced ham on one mustard-spread slice, then top with Swiss cheese slices.

Cook

  1. 5

    Close and cook

    Top with the second bread slice, buttered side facing out. Place the sandwich in the hot skillet.

  2. 6

    Grill until golden and melty

    Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side until the bread is golden. Flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crisp.

Serve

  1. 7

    Slice and serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let rest 1 minute, then slice in half. Serve with pickle slices on the side.
