Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 4 ounces turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter


Instructions

  1. Spread Mustard: Spread the tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one slice of bread to infuse the sandwich with a tangy flavor base.
  2. Layer Turkey and Cheese: Place 4 ounces of turkey breast on top of the mustard-coated bread slice, then add one slice of Swiss cheese over the turkey for a creamy, melty texture.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Cover the turkey and cheese with the second slice of bread, forming a sandwich.
  4. Butter the Bread: Spread butter on the outer sides of the sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust when cooked.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the sandwich evenly.
  6. Cook First Side: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
  7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side until it is golden and the Swiss cheese melts thoroughly, then remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use any bread of your choice such as sourdough or whole wheat for different flavor profiles.
  • For a tangier taste, add extra Dijon mustard or a dash of honey mustard.
  • Substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone if desired.
  • Ensure butter is spread evenly to avoid burning and to achieve a crisp crust.
  • Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
