Are we ever too old for an extra flavorful grilled cheese that’s so delicious we had to refer to it as a “melt?” NEVER! You’ll layer sourdough slices with gouda and smoked ham, plus a shmear of Dijon for a tangy contrast. Pan-fry in butter until melty, and serve with creamy coleslaw on the side (because we are adults and we love our veggies).
The quantities provided above are averages only.

• Wash and dry produce.
• In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, half the vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar (all the vinegar and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
• Evenly spread half the sourdough slices with mustard, then evenly top with ham and gouda. Top with remaining sourdough slices to form sandwiches.
• Heat 1⁄2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add sandwiches, cheese sides down. Push sandwiches around pan until butter and oil has absorbed. Cover and cook until bread is golden brown on one side and cheese begins to melt, 4-6 minutes.
• Add another 1⁄2 TBSP butter and drizzle of oil to pan and flip sandwiches. Push sandwiches around pan until butter and oil has absorbed. Cover and cook until bread is golden brown on second side and cheese melts, 4-6 minutes. (For 4 servings, work in batches or use a second pan, wiping out pan between batches and adding 1⁄2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil for each side.)
• Halve melts on a diagonal.
• Divide melts and coleslaw between plates. Serve.
