Ultimate Hot Sandwich Recipe – Easy, Gooey & Flavorful


  • Author: Nora Winslow
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich 1x

Description

This hot sandwich recipe is quick, easy, and packed with gooey cheese, crisp bread, and bold fillings. Perfect for lunch or a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (thick-cut)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices deli turkey
  • Handful of pickled jalapeños
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Butter the bread: Spread a generous amount of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  2. Assemble your sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a plate or cutting board. Layer on the mozzarella, cheddar, turkey, and pickled jalapeños. Spread the Dijon mustard on the second slice of bread (non-buttered side) and place it on top, butter-side up.
  3. Heat the skillet: Warm your skillet over medium heat.
  4. Grill the sandwich: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to help everything stick together. Flip carefully.
  5. Let it rest: Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature butter for easier spreading.’, ‘Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread.’, ‘Pre-shred your cheese for better melting.’, ‘Press lightly with a spatula to seal the sandwich without squeezing out the cheese.’]
