Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 8 ounces cooked turkey breast
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Sriracha sauce until well combined. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Flip the bread slices over and spread the mayo-Dijon-Sriracha mixture evenly on the unbuttered sides.
On two of the bread slices (the mayo-spread side), layer the turkey breast, followed by one slice of Havarti cheese, a handful of baby spinach, a few slices of red onion, and pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the bread toast.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
