Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pumpernickel bread slices
- 1 cup (shredded) Gruyère cheese
- 4 slices Cooked deli turkey or ham (optional)
- 8 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly over one side of each pumpernickel bread slice.
Step 3
Arrange the bread slices, spread side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
If using deli turkey or ham, place one slice on top of each bread slice.
Step 5
Layer a few spinach leaves on top of the turkey or ham (or directly on the bread if skipping meat), followed by two sun-dried tomato pieces per slice.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over each slice, ensuring the toppings are covered.
Step 7
Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the cheese on each slice, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your pumpernickel melts!
