Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Bread (5 minutes): Generously spread spicy brown mustard on one side of each bread slice. This adds a tangy kick that complements the savory fillings.

02

Step

Layer the Ingredients (10 minutes): On four of the bread slices, artistically arrange the luncheon meat, followed by two slices of cheddar cheese per sandwich. Add slices of tomato and sweet onion on top of the cheese. This layering ensures each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors.

03

Step

Assemble the Sandwiches (2 minutes): Carefully place the remaining bread slices, mustard-side-down, onto the onions, creating the top layer of the sandwiches.

04

Step

Butter the Exterior (3 minutes): Evenly spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich. The butter is essential for achieving that irresistible golden-brown crust.

05

Step

Grill to Perfection (12-15 minutes): Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Gently place the sandwiches into the skillet, ensuring they don't overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side. The slow cooking allows the cheese to melt beautifully and the flavors to meld.

06

Step

Cool and Serve (5 minutes): Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly on a cutting board before slicing and serving. This brief cooling period allows the cheese to set slightly, preventing it from oozing out completely upon cutting.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the luncheon meat with grilled halloumi cheese or thick-cut smoked tofu.
Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or brioche, to add unique textures and flavors.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
If you don't have a skillet, you can also grill these sandwiches in a panini press or on an outdoor grill.
