Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten-free bread
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup arugula
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet on medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard each.
Layer 2 slices of ham on top of the mustard on each slice of bread.
Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese over the ham.
Distribute the arugula evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.
Lightly brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil for extra crispiness.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated panini press or skillet.
If using a skillet, use a heavy pan to press the sandwiches down and flip them halfway through the cooking time.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, cut in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free ham and cheese panini!
