Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 6–8 slices of turkey breast
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the sandwich: Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Place the turkey slices evenly over two slices of bread, then top each with cheese slices. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Butter the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on the outer sides of each sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve warm: Remove the sandwiches from the pan, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Use your preferred type of cheese such as Swiss or Monterey Jack for variation.
- For extra flavor, add mustard or mayonnaise before assembling the sandwich.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- You can add tomato slices or pickles inside the sandwich for more texture.
