    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the press or skillet, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
