450kcal
Ingredients
For the sandwich
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces turkey breast
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices cooked bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Method
Preparation
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- On one slice, layer Dijon mustard over the mayonnaise.
- Place slices of cheddar cheese on top of the Dijon-coated slice.
- Layer cooked bacon over the cheddar cheese.
- Add turkey breast on top of the bacon, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
- Top with the second slice of sourdough bread, keeping the mayo side facing inward.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add butter to the pan, letting it melt and evenly coat the surface.
- Carefully place the sandwich into the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the sandwich gently and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
- Press down slightly with a spatula while cooking to help it crisp and melt the cheese.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the pan.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute on a cutting board before slicing.
- Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Notes
Ingredient substitutions: Swap turkey for chicken or roast beef for a different twist. You can also use Swiss cheese if you prefer its mild flavor. Add sliced tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness. For a spicy kick, try adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tight and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet on low heat to restore that crispy texture.
