Spread the rest of the bread with mustard and add to the cheese and ham to make a sandwich. The sides with the mayo should be on the outside of the sandwiches.Heat a frypan over a medium high heat place into a frypan, cook until the outside of the sandwich is golden and the cheese has started to melt.
