Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Spread
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Filling
- 8 ounces sliced turkey
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Spread Dijon Mustard: Take each slice of whole grain bread and spread Dijon mustard evenly on one side. This will add a tangy flavor to your melts.
- Assemble Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer the sliced turkey evenly, then top with cheddar cheese slices. This creates the savory filling.
- Close Sandwiches: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top with the mustard side facing down, forming two complete sandwiches.
- Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it is hot and bubbles gently. This ensures a crispy, golden exterior.
- Cook Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
- Serve: Remove sandwiches from skillet, slice diagonally if desired, and serve warm to enjoy the melty, flavorful experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, lightly press the sandwiches with a spatula while cooking.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with Swiss or provolone for a different flavor profile.
- Use low-fat butter or margarine for a lighter version.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
