Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices of hearty sandwich bread or a hoagie roll
Meats & Cheese
- 3 slices deli turkey
- 3 slices deli ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
Vegetables
- Leafy lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 4 slices cucumber
Condiments & Seasoning
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles or banana peppers
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined to create a tangy mayo-mustard spread.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast the bread slices or hoagie roll if desired to add a slight crisp and warmth to the sandwich base.
- Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both slices of the bread to infuse flavor and moisture throughout the sandwich.
- Layer the deli meats and cheese: Place the turkey, then ham slices, followed by Swiss cheese on one slice of the prepared bread to build the protein and cheesy base.
- Add fresh vegetables: Top the meat and cheese layer with leafy lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices to add freshness and crunch.
- Season the vegetables: Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the veggies to enhance their flavor.
- Add optional toppings: If using, layer pickles or banana peppers on top to introduce a tangy or spicy kick.
- Assemble and serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, pressing gently, then cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.
Notes
- Toast the bread lightly to prevent sogginess from the spread and veggies.
- Adjust the amount of mayo and mustard based on your flavor preference.
- Feel free to substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different taste.
- To keep the sandwich fresh if packing for later, add lettuce and tomato just before serving.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free bread to adapt the recipe for dietary needs.
