Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 6 oz deli ham
• 3 oz, sliced sharp cheddar
• 1 large Granny Smith apple
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1/2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Stir the mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and pepper into a spreadable sauce.
2. Core the apple and slice it paper-thin so it softens in the pan instead of staying raw and crunchy.
3. Spread the sauce on the inside faces of all eight slices, then layer cheddar, ham, apple, and a second layer of cheddar so the cheese glues both sides.
4. Butter the outsides of the sandwiches right to the edges.
5. Griddle over medium-low 4 to 5 minutes per side, pressing with a spatula, until the crust is deep golden and cheese runs at the seam.
6. Rest 2 minutes on a rack so the bottoms stay crisp, then halve and serve.
