  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Start by spreading the yellow mustard on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    Remove the sandwich from the heat, let it cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
