Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 992kcal
Equipment
- bacon press optional
- panini press optional
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.
