Description
This delightful sandwich combines the savory flavors of sliced turkey and creamy brie cheese with a burst of sweet tanginess from cranberry salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices crusty bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces sliced turkey
- 3 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cranberry salsa
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula or fresh spinach
Instructions
- Begin by spreading butter generously on one side of each slice of crusty bread. This butter will create a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Take one of the slices (buttered side down) and place it on the cutting board. Start layering your ingredients: add the thin slices of brie cheese first—this ensures that as the cheese melts, it creates a creamy texture that binds the sandwich. Next, add the turkey slices evenly over the brie, followed by the cranberry salsa for that sweet tanginess. Finally, top with a handful of fresh arugula or spinach for added flavor and nutrition. Now, cap your creation with the second slice of bread (buttered side up).
- Heat your skillet or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich onto the heated surface. Cook for about 3–5 minutes or until the bread turns crisp and golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. If using a skillet, remember to flip the sandwich halfway through cooking, pressing it lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting of cheese. Once finished, slice the sandwich in half and serve it while it’s hot and melty.
Notes
Ensure your skillet is adequately preheated to achieve the perfect golden crust.
