Original Recipe Yield 1 serving
 

Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 thin slices deli ham
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Spread one side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon butter. Place one slice, butter-side down in the hot skillet. Top with Swiss cheese and ham. Spread the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread with mayonnaise and mustard; place it, butter-side up on top of the sandwich. Cook until the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note
  • I add spinach, arugula, tomatoes, roasted peppers, chopped olives, artichokes, or a spoonful of salsa to the sandwich depending on my mood and what's in the fridge.
