For an extra touch of elegance, dust the cooked sandwiches with powdered sugar before serving. Consider adding a thin layer of Gruyere cheese for a more complex flavor profile. Serve with a side of raspberry jam or cranberry sauce for a sweet and tangy contrast. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheated in a skillet or microwave.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Sandwiches (5 minutes): Spread one side of 4 bread slices with honey mustard. Top the remaining 4 slices with the sliced ham. In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses, mixing well. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the ham. Close the sandwiches, mustard-side down.

Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
