Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 3 slices oven-roasted deli turkey
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 small tomato, sliced
- 1 1/2 slices Havarti cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Spread Pesto: Evenly spread the pesto on the insides of both slices of sourdough bread to add a rich, herby flavor.
- Assemble Cheese and Tomato: Place the Havarti cheese slices on one slice of bread, then layer the tomato slices on top. This layering helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Add Turkey: Top the tomato with the three slices of oven-roasted deli turkey, then close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, pesto side down.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the softened butter evenly on the outside surfaces of both bread slices to ensure a golden crispy crust when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich on it. Grill each side for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the heat, cut it in half, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Melting the cheese between layers helps keep the sandwich moist and flavorful while preventing sogginess from the tomato.
- Use a hot griddle or skillet for even toasting and melting.
- Adjust grilling time slightly depending on your heat source to avoid burning the bread.
- You can substitute sourdough with any sturdy bread like ciabatta or multigrain for variation.
