Ingredients

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

Instructions

Lay bread slices on a cutting board. Spread butter on one side of each slice. If using mustard, spread on the unbuttered side of one slice.
Place ham on the unbuttered side of the mustard-smeared slice, folding to fit. Top with cheese slice.
Close sandwich with the other bread slice, buttered side out.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwich in pan and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted, another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or a few leaves of lettuce after cooking.
Use a panini press for a grilled effect without flipping.
If you prefer open-faced, toast bread first, then broil with ham and cheese until bubbly.
