  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    Take two slices of rye bread and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.

    Place the second slice of bread mustard-side down on top of the layered ingredients.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
