Spread butter on top and bottom. Generously add mustard, don’t be shy!
Layer ham, cheese, pickles and cucumber. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Put top on the sandwich and cut into 3 or 4 equal pieces.
Heat pan to medium-high temperature.
Baste top of one section with olive oil and place oiled side down in pan. Baste other side with olive oil.
OR Heat sandwich press or plancha to medium-high. Only use the flat side, no grooves on this sandwich! Close until toasted and cheese is melted!
For pan – Place heavy item on top of sandwich – I used 2 nested pots. Toast for 5 minutes.
Turn sandwich over and toast for another 5 minutes.
Turn the heat down and put a lid on the pan to finish the melting. I can see how a sandwich press might do a better job because it’s not easy to heat through if you have too many layers.
