Equipment

  • Panini Press
  • Chef Knife

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough sandwich bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons coarse mustard
  • 4 slices ham
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Butter outside of bread.
    2 slices sourdough sandwich bread, 1 tablespoon butter
  • Combine mayonnaise and mustard together. Spread on the inside of the bread.
    1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons coarse mustard
  • Place ham and cheese on one slice of the bread. Top with the other slice.
    4 slices ham, 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • Place on a preheated panini grill. Close cover and press slightly down. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from grill and let sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

    • Every panini press is slightly different. Know how your panini press works.
    • Preheat your press. If you have a temperature control, set it to 350°-375°F. My press only has one setting.
    • Grill until the bread is nicely toasted and the cheese is melted.
    • Remove the cooked sandwich from the grill and rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing. The helps prevent all the cheese from oozing out.
    • Slice with a sharp knife.
    • Serve while still hot.
