4 thick slices white high top loaf
60g soft butter
2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
4 slices leg ham
60g gruyere cheese, sliced
- Spread one side of each bread slice completely with butter, making sure to include the crust. Place the buttered side of two slices lightly together. Spread mustard onto unbuttered side of top slice. Lay a slice of ham over the mustard; add a layer of cheese slices.
- Preheat large frying pan. When hot gently lift top slice of bread with filling and place butter side down into pan. Top with other slice, with the butter side up.
- Cook over medium heat for 2 mins until underside is golden and cheese is beginning to melt. Using a spatula, carefully turn sandwich over to cook on other side. Lift onto a plate and carefully cut in half diagonally. Repeat the same process with the remaining sandwich. Serve sandwiches immediately.
Note : It is important to have the heat just at medium level. If it is too hot, the bread will burn before the cheesse melts.
