Ingredients

2 slices white or whole wheat bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
2 slices deli ham (about 2 oz total)
2 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese (about 2 oz total)

Instructions

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. If using mustard, spread on the unbuttered side of one slice.
Layer ham and cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread slice with mustard, then top with the other bread slice, buttered side up.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or a few leaves of fresh spinach before cooking.
To make it a grilled cheese with ham, use your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella or provolone.
