Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread
- About 2 tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter or clarified butter at room temperature or melted
- Dijon-style mustard
- 2 thin slices cooked ham
- 1/4 cup grated or 2 thin slices gruyere cheese
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place both slices of bread on your work surface. Spread some of the butter on top of each slice of bread, then spread the mustard on top of the butter. Pile the ham and cheese on a slice of bread, season with salt and pepper to taste, and then top with the other bread slice, mustard-side down.
- Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium or medium-high heat. Gently place the sandwich in the skillet and let it cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Grab your spatula, flip it onto a plate, and prepare for your day to get exponentially better. Originally published December 26, 2015.
