• 1 tablespoon Butter or olive oil
• 1 small Tomato (optional, sliced)

• 1 tablespoon Ketchup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a tost machine, sandwich press, or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Butter one side of each slice of gluten-free bread or brush it lightly with olive oil.

Step 3

Place one slice of the gluten-free bread on a cutting board, buttered side down.

Step 4

Layer the white cheese or mozzarella evenly on the bread.

Step 5

If using sucuk or another gluten-free sausage, add a layer of thinly sliced pieces on top of the cheese.

Step 6

Add optional toppings such as sliced tomato and pickles, if desired. Spread a thin layer of ketchup or mayonnaise for extra flavor if you like.

Step 7

Place the second slice of gluten-free bread on top, buttered side up.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the sandwich to the preheated tost machine, sandwich press, or skillet. Press down slightly to compact the sandwich and ensure even toasting.

Step 9

Cook for about 3-4 minutes in a tost machine or press, or 2-3 minutes per side in a skillet, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Remove the toast from the heat, let it cool slightly, and cut it into halves or quarters for easier serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Turkish Tost with a side of tea or your favorite beverage.
