Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices smoked ham
• 1 handful baby spinach
• 1 medium ripe tomato
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix dijon mustard and mayonnaise to create a creamy spread.

Step 4

Thinly slice the tomato and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

On the unbuttered sides of two bread slices, spread the mustard-mayonnaise mixture evenly.

Step 6

Layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese, 2 slices of smoked ham, a handful of baby spinach, 3-4 slices of tomato, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the spread.

Step 7

Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards, to form two sandwiches.

Step 8

Lightly drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil onto the heated skillet to enhance browning.

Step 9

Carefully place the sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden-brown and crispy, and the cheeses have melted.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
