# What You’ll Need:

01 -
4 slices sourdough or thick-cut crusty bread

02 -
2 tablespoons honey mustard
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Cheese
04 -
2 slices white cheddar cheese, halved

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Arrange sourdough slices on a clean surface and spread ½ tablespoon of honey mustard evenly on one side of each slice.
02 -
Place a half-slice of cheddar cheese on each bread slice. On two of the slices, layer two slices of deli turkey over the cheese.
03 -
Distribute thin tomato slices and ¼ cup of fresh baby spinach over the turkey-covered slices.
04 -
Lay two strips of cooked bacon on the remaining cheese-covered slices, then close the sandwiches with the tomato and spinach topped slices.
05 -
Spread ½ tablespoon of softened unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich slice to ensure even grilling and browning.
06 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
07 -
Remove sandwiches from the skillet and serve warm, accompanied by your preferred sides.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
For best melting, use freshly sliced white cheddar cheese. Adjust skillet heat to prevent bread burning while allowing cheese to melt properly.
02 -
This preparation works well with leftover holiday turkey; if using thicker slices, increase toasting time slightly.
