Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 slices

Turkey Breast:

  • 4 ounces

Cheddar Cheese:

  • 2 slices

Cooked Bacon:

  • 2 slices

Butter:

  • 1 tablespoon

Mayonnaise:

  • 1 tablespoon

Dijon Mustard:

  • 1 teaspoon

Black Pepper:

  • 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  2. This helps create a flavorful and moist base for the sandwich.

  3. Spread the Dijon mustard on top of the mayonnaise on one of the slices of bread.
  4. The mustard adds a tangy kick to the sandwich.

  5. Place the slices of cheddar cheese on top of the mustard-coated bread slice.
  6. Evenly layering the cheese ensures a gooey, melty texture.

  7. Layer the cooked bacon on top of the cheddar cheese.
  8. The crispy bacon adds a delicious crunch.

  9. Add the turkey breast on top of the bacon, making sure it’s spread evenly.
  10. The turkey brings a savory protein element to the sandwich.

  11. Top the turkey with the remaining slice of sourdough bread, mayo side facing inward.
  12. This forms the sandwich ready for grilling.

  13. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  14. Preheating ensures even cooking and browning.

  15. Add the butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  16. The butter helps to crisp up the bread and adds flavor.

  17. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  18. Flipping once ensures both sides are evenly toasted.

  19. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
  20. Pressing down helps the cheese melt and the sandwich to become compact.

  21. Press down slightly with a spatula while cooking to help the sandwich crisp evenly and melt the cheese inside.
  22. Pressing ensures a perfectly grilled sandwich.

  23. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich from the pan.
  24. The cheese should be gooey and the bread crispy.

  25. Place the sandwich on a cutting board and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
  26. Resting helps the flavors meld together.

  27. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
  28. Enjoy this delicious, melty sandwich while it’s hot!
