Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sourdough or crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 2 slices white cheddar cheese
- 4 slices deli turkey
- 1 medium red tomato, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh baby spinach
- 4 strips cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Place 4 slices of sourdough bread on a flat surface. Spread ½ tablespoon of honey mustard on each slice of bread.
- Slice the cheddar cheese into 4 portions and place one slice on each piece of bread, over the mustard.
- Place 2 slices of deli turkey on top of the cheese on two slices of bread.
- Layer thin tomato slices and fresh spinach on top of the turkey.
- Place 2 strips of bacon on the remaining slices of bread (with cheese) and close the sandwich.
- Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on the outside of each sandwich.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the skillet. Toast each side for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Once toasted, remove from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For a better melt, use freshly sliced cheese instead of pre-packaged slices.
- If your bread browns too quickly, lower the heat to avoid burning the sandwich before the cheese melts.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese and butter alternatives.
- If using leftover turkey, toast the sandwich a bit longer to ensure the turkey heats through.
