Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (large slices)
  • 2 Tbsps mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsps Huckleberry Chutney
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 10 slices sliced turkey breast
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon
  • lettuce
  • basil leaves
  • sliced red onions
  • sliced pickled jalapenos

Instructions

  • Butter sourdough bread on one side and place it into a large pan with the buttered side down. Spread mayonnaise and huckleberry chutney on the side that's facing up.
  • Set the flame setting to low and divide the cheese equally on the two slices of bread. Top one slice with onion, jalapenos, turkey, bacon, basil, and lettuce.
  • When the cheese begins to melt, cover the side that's loaded with ingredients with the other slice. After a minute or two, carefully flip the sandwich to grill the other side.
  • Once the sandwich is grilled on both sides, use a sharp knife to slice it in half. Serve while hot.

Notes

  • Use a good quality sourdough bread, one that actually has a sour flavor instead of the kind that tastes like white bread.
  • If you like mustard, consider adding pickled mustard seeds. They provide a tangy burst of flavor!
  • For a spicier sandwich, add either sliced fresh jalapenos or pickled, which are my favorite.
  • Instead of mayonnaise, try substituting cream cheese instead.
  • Lift the sandwich periodically with a spatula and check to make sure it's not burning.
  • Serve this sandwich fresh and hot. It will not taste as good if reheated.
  • If the bread is grilled but the cheese is still not melted, microwave the sandwich for 30 seconds.
