Grilled Swiss Cheese Sandwiches with Dijon-Honey Spread

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Gather and prepare the ingredients:
- Slice the bread and cheese.
- Soften the butter.
- Prepare the Dijon mustard and honey mixture.
Make the Dijon-honey spread:
- In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and honey. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Assemble the sandwiches:
- Spread the Dijon-honey mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the Dijon-honey side of four of the bread slices.
- Top the cheese with the remaining four slices of bread, creating four sandwich halves.
Cook the sandwiches:
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread the softened butter on the outer sides of the sandwich halves.
- Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Finish and serve:
- Once the sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally, if desired, and serve hot.

For a crispier exterior, you can also brush the outer sides of the bread with a small amount of olive oil or melted butter before cooking.
Experiment with different types of Swiss cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmentaler, to find your preferred flavor profile.
Consider adding thinly sliced apple, caramelized onions, or a sprinkle of dried herbs to the sandwich for additional flavor.
Serve the grilled Swiss cheese sandwiches with a side of fresh fruit, a crisp salad, or a steaming bowl of tomato soup for a complete and satisfying meal.
