Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Grate or slice the Irish cheddar cheese.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the Dijon mustard on one slice of rye bread. Layer with grated or sliced Irish cheddar cheese, followed by the tomato slices, fresh arugula, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of rye bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and enjoy your Irish Cheddar Sandwich warm.
