Spread Hellmann's mayonnaise on one side of a slice of thick white sliced bread, edge to edge.

Spread Dijon mustard on one side of another slice of thick white sliced bread, edge to edge.

Layer cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella cheese on top of the mayonnaise-covered slice of bread.

Season the cheese with salt and pepper.

Butter the outside of both slices of bread, ensuring it's well covered edge to edge.

Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan, butter-side down.

Cook the first side until it starts to toast, ensuring the heat is not too high so the cheese can melt.

Butter the top of the sandwich once the first side is toasted.

Flip the sandwich over and cover it with another frying pan to create a mini oven effect, helping the cheese to melt.

Cook until the second side is nice and toasty, then remove from the pan and place on a plate.
