Turkey Tomato White Cheddar Melt

This is the sandwich I made with the Roasted Pepper Tomato Tapenade.

It is simply delicious and it’s something you can totally make in a rush. If you’ve got the tapenade in your fridge, the sandwich comes together in a few minutes. All you need is a whole wheat bun, some turkey, sweet onion, fresh garden tomato and some extra sharp white cheddar cheese. If you have a couple large basil leaves that is an excellent finishing touch.

I had about 30 minutes between errands and my daughter’s dance class last weekend to make myself and her something to eat. This is what I made for ME because while I had fed the kids breakfast, I ran out of time to feed myself, so by lunchtime I was starving. In a rush, I started grabbing things from the fridge and this was what became of it.

I managed to snap a few photos somehow before I chowed it down and ran out the door to get my girl to her dance class.

Turkey Tomato White Cheddar Melt

For each sandwich (two halves):

• 1 whole wheat bun, sliced in half, lightly toasted
• Roasted Pepper Tomato Tapenade (recipe here)
• Thinly sliced sweet onion
• A couple very thin slices natural smoked turkey
• A slice or two of fresh garden tomato for each side
• Slices of extra sharp white cheddar cheese
• A couple large fresh basil leaves (or several smaller ones)

Directions:

1. Slice each half of the bun with a good layer of roasted pepper tomato tepenade.
2. Set it on a baking sheet, then arrange several thin slices of sweet onion on top of the tepenade.
3. Cover with the thin slices of smoked turkey and then a slice or two of tomato (whatever fits!). Top the tomato with a couple slices of white cheddar cheese.
4. Bake at 400 until the cheese is good and hot and bubbly and melty.
5. Top with a couple fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!
