Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices hearty white bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup Gouda cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Havarti cheese shredded
  • 16 slices ham thinly sliced
  • 1 Honeycrisp apple thinly sliced
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • Hot honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, then spread half of the butter (2 tablespoons) evenly on one side of the bread. Toast for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, flip the bread over, and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on the untoasted side. Toast for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each bread slice. Top with the shredded Gouda and Havarti, 2 slices of ham, and a few apple slices. Sprinkle a little more cheese to help hold everything together.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 6 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted and golden brown. 
  • Remove from the oven. Grind black pepper over each piece of toast. Top with a handful of arugula, then finish with a generous drizzle of hot honey. Serve hot.
