Using Moscow style ham takes this sandwich into the stratosphere!
Calories per serving:
Ingredients
- 4 slices Moscow ham
- 2 sliced Madrigal cheese
- 4 slices Pain de Mie
- 2 tablespoons good mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon or Russian mustard
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, cut into quarters
Instructions
- Mix the mustard and mayonnaise together and spread on one side of each slice of bread.
- Put 1 slice of ham on each piece of bread, folded.
- Break apart a slice of the cheese, and put half on the ham, then top with more ham. The pieces of cheese are large, so don't worry about being skimpy.
- Have ready a good cast iron or stainless steel skillet. Heat the skillet on medium.
- Put 2 of the pieces of butte that you cut, let it melt, then put the sandwich on the butter.
- Reduce the flame to low immediately and cook, covered, for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bread has browned. Turn over and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, cut and serve.
- These are excellent with a pickle.
