Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 8 oz sliced turkey
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of whole grain bread, 8 oz of sliced turkey, 4 slices of Swiss cheese, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and butter for grilling.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will ensure that your sandwiches grill evenly and achieve a nice golden-brown color.
- While the skillet is heating, take two slices of whole grain bread and spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice. This will be the inside of your sandwich.
- Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the mustard on both slices of bread, distributing it equally to ensure a satisfying bite in every sandwich.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the turkey on each of the two slices. This will melt beautifully and add creaminess to the sandwich.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down, to complete the assembly.
- Now, add a small amount of butter to the preheated skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface. This will help achieve a golden crust on your sandwiches.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwiches over and add a little more butter to the skillet if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once both sides are perfectly grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half.
- Serve the Turkey Dijon Melt Sandwiches warm, and enjoy them with your favorite side, such as a salad or chips.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for more even grilling and a consistent golden-brown crust
- Choose high-quality, thick-sliced whole grain bread for better texture and flavor
- Don't rush the grilling process – medium heat is key to melting cheese without burning the bread
- Press down gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure maximum cheese melting and bread crispiness
- For extra flavor, consider lightly toasting the bread before adding ingredients
- If you want a crispier exterior, you can also use a panini press instead of a skillet
- Let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld
