Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil (omit if using a sandwich maker)
  • 2 slices bread (any type of bread that you like)
  • 1/4 cup pesto (store bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise (store bought or homemade)
  • 100 grams sliced turkey breast (~4 slices)
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese (or other cheese of choice)
  • 5 sun dried tomatoes, chopped (use sun dried tomatoes in oil)

Instructions

  • Heat a large griddle or skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter or coconut oil to the pan to allow it to melt.
  • Place the two slices of bread, side by side on a cutting board or plate. Spread half of the mayonnaise onto each piece of bread followed by half of the pesto onto each slice of bread.
  • Onto one piece of bread, add the sliced cheese, chopped sun dried tomatoes and sliced turkey. Then top with the other piece of bread.
  • Transfer the sandwich to the griddle or skillet and toast the sandwich in the pan until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place a lid on top of the pan while cooking to speed up the cheese melting.
