Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon honey
6 slices Italian bread
9 slices turkey breast leftovers work great
6 slices bacon precooked
1 medium gala apple cut into ¼" slices
8 ounces smoked Gouda cheese shredded

Instructions

Stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey in a medium-sized bowl.
Working on top of a sheet of parchment paper, spread a thin layer of the mustard mayo onto one side of 3 slices of bread. Place the bread mayo side down.
Top the bread with an even layer of shredded cheese. Top the cheese evenly with the turkey slices, apple slices, and another layer of shredded cheese, reserving a tiny bit of cheese for one final layer.
Add two bacon strips to each sandwich and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each sandwich with the final slices of bread spread with the mustard mayonnaise (mayo side up).
Heat a large skillet on medium/high heat. Add the sandwiches (one at a time) to the skillet and cook each sandwich on the first side for 3-4 minutes until golden. Gently flip the sandwiches and press each sandwich with a spatula or sandwich press. Cook each sandwich for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted.
To keep the sandwiches warm while making the remaining sandwiches preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add the sandwiches to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and keep the sandwiches on the rack inside the oven.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve with the remaining honey mustard mayo for dipping.

Notes

Wrap the sandwiches well with plastic wrap or inside a airtight container and refrigerate up to 4 days.

For a crispy sandwich place the sandwich on a baking sheet and reheat in a preheated 350 degree oven for 5-7 minutes.

Or warm in a microwave (covered with a paper towel) to heat the sandwich, and melt the cheese.
