Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 8 slices sliced deli turkey
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 medium apple (sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 handful baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the apple into rounds or half-moons and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of honey mustard on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Layer 2 slices of turkey on one slice of bread, followed by 2-3 apple slices, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, and a small handful of baby spinach, if using. Top with another slice of sourdough bread, honey mustard side down. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the first sandwich in the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Remove the sandwiches from the pan, allow to cool slightly, then cut in half and serve warm.
