Ham, Cheese and Tomato Toastie
A proper toasted sandwich made in a frying pan: butter on the outside of the bread, cheese on both inner faces so it glues the whole thing together, and tomato sliced thin enough not to make it soggy.

Method
Build the sandwich
BuildButter the bread on the OUTSIDE faces — that is what browns. Spread mustard on the inside, then build: cheese, ham, tomato, pepper, and the rest of the cheese. Cheese against both slices is what holds a toastie shut.

Press and toast
ToastCook in a dry frying pan over medium-LOW heat, pressing down with a spatula, for about three minutes a side until deep golden and the cheese has run. Medium-low is the point — hot and fast burns the bread before the middle melts.
Rest, then cut
RestLet it sit for a minute before cutting, or the molten cheese runs straight out onto the board.

Cook's notePat the tomato slices dry with paper towel before they go in. It is the one thing standing between this and a soggy middle.
