Step 1
Spread one side of each bread slice with a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
Step 2
Layer 2 slices of gruyère, a pinch of ham, and thyme on 2 bread slices. Top each with a second bread slice, mustard-side down.
Step 3
Heat 1.5 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Lay one sandwich in the pan and cook 2–3 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.
Step 5
Flip, add remaining 1.5 tbsp butter to the pan, and cook the second side 2–3 minutes until golden and cheese melts.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the second sandwich. Serve immediately while cheese is still oozing.
