Gluten Free Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Dijon Dressing

When you’re craving a deli-style sandwich – this hot ham and cheese sandwich fits the bill.

My favorite sandwich of all time has got to be a Reuben, but that requires some planning because most of us don’t have pastrami and sauerkraut on hand regularly. This one uses ingredients most of us have on hand already. This means you can whip up lunch in no time!

The issue with gluten-free anything is really the bread. Most grocery-style gluten-free breads are just not up to par. I know what you’re thinking – and no, you don’t have to make bread for this recipe. Our favorite brands of gluten-free bread are Udis and Canyon Bakehouse. But use whatever brand is your favorite.
