This grilled sandwich is the perfect dish for lunch or dinner. The creaminess of the dijon sauce pairs perfectly with the melted swiss cheese and crisp bacon. It's a kid-friendly way to dress up a ham and cheese sandwich that will bring smiles to any table!
Ingredients:
2 tsp FRENCH'S® Dijon Mustard
6 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
8 slices sourdough bread
4 slices deli ham
8 slices of cooked bacon
8 slices of deli swiss cheese
Directions:
1. Place a small sauce pot over medium low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute or so. Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble then drop heat to low, whisking constantly. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. When sauce coats back of a spoon, turn off heat.
2. To prepare each sandwich place 1 slice of swiss cheese and 1 slice of ham on bottom slice of bread. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mustard sauce over ham. Top with 2 slices of bacon and 1 more slice of swiss cheese; cover with top slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Spread half of the remaining butter on the top slices of bread.
3. Place sandwiches on a hot electric grill pan, buttered side down. Spread tops with remaining butter. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and cheese melts.
If a grill pan is not available, heat a nonstick skillet. Cook the sandwiches for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway though, until golden and sandwich is heated through.
