MONTEREY MELT SANDWICH

Categories     Sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup pickled jalapeƱo slices , minced
8 slices hearty white sandwich bread
4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
8 slices deli turkey
12 strips bacon (cooked)
16 slices avocado

Steps:

  • 1. Combine cheeses and jalepeƱos in bowl. Brush top side of each slice of bread with melted butter. Flip 4 slices over, layer with 1/4 cup cheese mixture, 2 slices turkey, 3 strips bacon, and 3-4 slices avocado. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up. 2. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Place 2 sandwiches in pan and weight with round cake pan, pressing lightly. Leave cake pan on top and cook until first side is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip sandwiches, press again with cake pan, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Bread: Opt for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the sandwich's fillings. Sourdough, French, or a hearty whole wheat bread are great options.
  • Generous Butter: Don't skimp on the butter when grilling the sandwich. It adds a golden-brown crispiness and enhances the flavor.
  • Perfect Cheese Melt: Use a blend of cheeses that melt well, such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Swiss cheese. Place the cheese directly on the hot sandwich ingredients to ensure it melts evenly.
  • Flavorful Additions: Add your favorite fillings to customize the sandwich. Consider ingredients like sliced ham, turkey, thinly sliced onions, or avocado.
  • Toast in Stages: Grill the sandwich in stages, starting with the bottom slice of bread. This prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy and ensures even cooking.

Conclusion:

The Monterey Melt sandwich is a classic comfort food that combines simple ingredients to create a satisfying and flavorful meal. With its perfectly melted cheese, crispy bread, and customizable fillings, it's a sandwich that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a late-night snack. Experiment with different cheeses, fillings, and grilling techniques to find your perfect combination for a truly delightful Monterey Melt sandwich experience.
