Ingredients

• 4 ounces Deli-sliced turkey breast
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Baby spinach (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and eggs. Stir until well blended into a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Spread the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming two equal-sized rectangles (approximately 5x7 inches). These will serve as the 'bread' slices for your sandwich.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese crusts are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 6

While the cheese crusts are cooling, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the deli-sliced turkey breast and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until warmed through.

Step 7

If using baby spinach, add it to the skillet with the turkey and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until wilted.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (optional) onto one side of each cheese crust. Layer the turkey (and spinach, if using) onto one crust and sprinkle with any additional shredded cheese if desired.

Step 9

Place the second cheese crust on top to form the sandwich. Gently press it down.

Step 10

Transfer the sandwich back onto the baking sheet and place it in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to melt everything together.

Step 11

Remove the sandwich from the oven, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
