Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Creole mustard, or any other grainy mustard
• 8 slices white bread, or any other sliced bread
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 slices Swiss cheese or any other cheese
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 8 slices ham

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet.

Spread the mustard on 1 side of the bread slices. Add the oil to the skillet and place 4 bread slices mustard side up. Top the bread slices with the cheese slices, the ham, and then the tomato slices. Arrange the last 4 bread slices, mustard side down, on each stack to make sandwiches. Press the sandwiches with a spatula until brown and crisp. Flip the sandwiches and press again, until brown and crispy.

Remove sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
