Ingredients:
- 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 4 oz sliced roasted turkey breast
- 2-3 tbsp hummus (your favorite flavor)
- 1 slice of Swiss or provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup baby spinach or arugula
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for grilling)
Instructions:
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread hummus evenly on one side of each slice of bread. On one slice, layer the sliced turkey, cheese, spinach or arugula, cucumber slices, and roasted red peppers. Top with the second slice of bread, hummus side down.
- Prepare for Grilling:
- Brush the outside of the sandwich with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring even coverage to help the bread toast nicely.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
