Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Fresh Apples (e.g. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – 1 medium, thinly sliced
- Turkey Breast Slices – 4 slices
- Cheddar or Swiss Cheese – 2 slices (about 2 ounces)
- Whole Grain Bread – 2 slices
- Butter – 1 tablespoon, for spreading
Optional Ingredients
- Mustard or Honey – 1 teaspoon, optional, for added tang or sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the apples thinly so they meld well inside the sandwich. Lay out turkey slices and cheese for easy assembly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the turkey, apple slices, and cheese evenly. Top with the second bread slice, butter side facing out.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and warm.
Notes
- Use medium heat to ensure the bread toasts without burning and the cheese melts properly.
- Press the sandwich gently with a spatula for better melting and cohesion.
- Choose melting cheeses like cheddar or gruyère for the best texture.
- Pat apple slices dry to prevent sogginess in the sandwich.
- Assemble ahead but cook just before eating to maintain crispiness.
