Ingredients

2 slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 slices deli ham (about 2 oz)
2 slices Swiss cheese (about 2 oz)

Instructions

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Spread mustard on the other side of one slice.
Layer ham and cheese on the mustard-side bread, then top with the other bread slice, buttered side up.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place sandwich in skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip sandwich carefully and cook until second side is golden and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes more.
Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then cut in half and serve.

Tips

Use a panini press for even browning.
Add a slice of tomato or pickles for extra flavor.
Serve with a side of tomato soup or a green salad.
