1
Line up all ingredients on a clean work surface. If using pickle slices, set them aside for optional garnish.
2
Spread mustard
Spread Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice to add tang.
3
Build the filling
On one bread slice, place ham slices, then cheddar cheese slices. If using pickles, layer two pickle slices on top of the cheese.
4
Top with the second bread slice, mustard side down.
5
Butter the bread
Spread the outside faces of the bread with unsalted butter to help it grill golden.
6
Grill the melt
Warm a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7
Remove from heat, let rest 1-2 minutes, slice in half, and serve.
