Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces turkey breast
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices cooked bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter For grilling the sandwich
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper To taste
Method
Preparation
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- On the mayonnaise-coated side of one slice, spread Dijon mustard.
- Place cheddar cheese slices on top of the mustard-covered slice.
- Layer the crispy bacon slices over the cheddar cheese.
- Evenly distribute the turkey breast on top of the bacon.
- Top with the remaining slice of sourdough bread, ensuring the mayo side is facing inward.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the butter and allow it to melt, coating the pan surface.
- Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Gently flip the sandwich over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
- Press down slightly with a spatula while cooking to help crisp the sandwich and melt the cheese.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich from the pan.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute on a cutting board before slicing.
- Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Notes
You can substitute turkey with chicken or ham and use different cheeses like Swiss or provolone. Add tomatoes or avocado for freshness, or jalapeños for spice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, use low heat in a skillet or microwave.
