Sandwich
Method
Sandwich
Prepare bread
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outside of the sandwich and helps achieve a golden crust if toasting. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the mayonnaise evenly; on the unbuttered side of the other slice, spread the mustard.
Assemble fillings
Place the slice of cheese on the mayonnaise-spread side of one bread slice. Layer the 3 slices of deli ham on top of the cheese, arranging them so they cover the cheese. If using, add the lettuce leaf and the 2 tomato slices on top of the ham. Sprinkle the tomato with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper to season.
Close sandwich
Place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing outward. Press gently to compact the sandwich slightly so the fillings hold together.
Serve cold or toasted
Cold: Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or down the middle and serve immediately. Toasted (optional): Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese begins to melt. Remove from heat, let rest 1 minute, then cut and serve.
