# What You'll Need:
→ Bread and Spreads
01 -
4 slices sourdough bread
02 -
2 tablespoons honey mustard
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Cheese and Protein
04 -
2 slices white cheddar cheese
05 -
4 slices deli turkey breast
06 -
4 strips cooked bacon
→ Vegetables
07 -
1 medium red tomato, thinly sliced
08 -
½ cup fresh baby spinach
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Place the four slices of sourdough bread on a cutting board. Spoon out two tablespoons of honey mustard and spread approximately half a tablespoon evenly over the top side of each slice.
02 -
Cut each cheddar cheese slice in half, creating four pieces. Place one half-slice of cheese on each bread slice over the honey mustard. Distribute two slices of deli turkey onto two slices of the cheese-topped bread. Layer tomato slices and a quarter cup of baby spinach over the turkey on each.
03 -
Divide bacon into two portions. Lay two strips of cooked bacon on the remaining two slices of bread with cheese. Assemble each sandwich by placing the bacon-topped halves, bacon side down, onto the turkey and spinach halves, aligning the sandwich layers.
04 -
Divide the softened butter into four equal portions. Spread one portion on the outer side of each bread slice. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place sandwiches into the skillet.
05 -
Toast the first side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Carefully flip each sandwich and toast the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the cheese has melted and the interior is heated through. Remove from skillet and transfer to serving plates. Serve immediately while warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Opt for freshly sliced cheddar cheese or slice it from a block for superior flavor and texture compared to prepackaged varieties.
02 -
To adapt for a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cheese and plant-based butter.
