This grilled cheese recipe combines sliced ham, crispy bacon and smoke gouda cheese. The combination of flavors makes this sandwich a delicious option for dinner any night of the week. The sandwich has a nice smoky flavor from the bacon and gouda cheese. What helps to make this sandwich stand out is the mustard-mayonnaise spread that goes on it. The mustard mayonnaise spread is a combination of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. You will want to make sure you cook on sandwiches on low heat otherwise the cheese will not melt much at all. If you are using a block of gouda, try and slice it as thinly as possible. Enjoy.
