Sunrise™ Recipe

Prepare bacon

Cook the bacon until crisp. To do this, place the two bacon slices in a cold skillet, turn heat to medium, and cook 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Toast bread and melt cheese

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice (about 1/2 tsp total, divided). Place bread butter-side-down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the slice of Swiss cheese on one bread slice (butter side down on pan). Toast 1–2 minutes until the underside is golden and cheese begins to melt. If cheese needs extra melting, cover the skillet for 30–60 seconds. Remove toasted slices to a plate, toasted sides up.

Make spread

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Assemble sandwich

Spread the mayonnaise–Dijon mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of each toasted bread slice. On one slice (the bottom), layer the ham (2 slices), turkey (2 slices), cooked bacon (2 slices), and optional tomato slices and lettuce if using. Sprinkle the tomato with a light pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Top with the cheese-topped bread slice, toasted side up.

Finish and serve

Press the sandwich gently to compact. Cut diagonally if desired and serve immediately while warm.
