Ingredients

8 ounces Gruyere, shredded
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, chopped
12 ounces sliced turkey
12 slices wheat or sourdough bread, crusts removed
6 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Into a food processor, add the cheese, butter, mustard, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is thick, smooth and spreadable.

Spread the cheese mixture over 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange the turkey slices over the cheese mixture on 6 of the bread slices. Top sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, cheese mixture side down, pressing gently to adhere. Cut the sandwiches in half.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Cook half of the sandwiches until golden brown and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep them warm. Repeat with remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Satisfying yet Simple
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Just because I only gave it 4 stars doesn't mean I didn't like it! The spread was really good but I personally found it... almost a little too simple. Don't get me wrong it is a good sandwich, just not my absolute favorite.Read more

Melty Goodness!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So yummy!! I added diced jalapenos, and I used smoked gruyere. I also used a sweet & spicy mustard, and added extra garlic.... I used french bread, and substituted canola oil for the olive oil, just because that's what I had. It was still perfect!Read more

Sooo darn GOOD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so quick and easy you just can't believe it could be so good! Love that it has gruyere cheese (my favorite,... in fact I'm eating some right now)! I found that if I used a pastry brush to brush the oil onto the sandwiches before grilling that you didn't use too much oil; otherwise the first sandwich soaks up a lot of the oil in the pan and can be too greasy.Read more

A Grown Up Sandwhich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I loved this. We used Swiss becuase the gruyere was very pricey in the store and used spicy mustard. Next time... will try with dijon. We loved it and there was enough leftover cheese spread to last days. My husband especially enjoyed them with a cold beer. Read more

So, so delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich is simply great! It is easy to make, obviously, but it is also easy to modify. I made it with smoked gouda and... added a little mayo to the mix. I also don't have a food processor so I had to blend it all by hand...and it still turned out great! I highly recommend this sandwich. Read more
