On the unbuttered side, spread russian dressing. Place one piece of swiss cheese, then pile a few slices of ham, place another piece of swiss, top cheese with creamy slaw, top with swiss cheese. Place the remaining piece of bread on top, to complete the sandwich stack.
Let the bottom slice brown slightly and then flip, pressing the sandwich down using a flat spatula, flip back over once the bottom half is brown (3 minutes) until first side is a little darker.
