French Ham and Cheese Sandwich (Keto)
A Parisian-style ham and cheese sandwich rebuilt without bread, using melted Gruyere and Emmental to seal thin ham slices between fried halloumi slabs standing in for baguette. Dijon mustard, butter, and a hot skillet finish give the crisp, salty, molten-cheese effect of a classic croque without the carb load.

Prep
Pat halloumi dry with a paper towel; spread one side of each slab thinly with Dijon mustard.

Set a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with butter; once foaming, lay sandwich in gently and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until halloumi is deep golden and cheese oozes at edges.
