- Monte Cristo Sandwiches

- 6 thin slices ham

- Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon of the mustard. Top
- 2 of the slices with half the cheese, then the ham, then the remaining

- off any overhanging ham and cheese, but not the crusts. Press sandwiches
- gently together.

- In a large heavy skillet, preferably nonstick, melt the butter in the oil
