Step 2
Gather all ingredients.
Step 3
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl to make sauce.
Step 4
Trim off ends of bread. Cut loaf in half and evenly split bread to make tops and bottoms of two sandwiches.
Step 5
Spread each half on both sides generously with mayo-mustard sauce.
Step 6
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a heavy weight, such as another skillet or foil-wrapped bricks. Toast sandwiches until bread is crisp and filling is heated through, 3 or 4 minutes per side.
