Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by gathering all the ingredients. If you are using fresh roasted red peppers, slice them into strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces. If you are including optional ingredients, wash the lettuce leaf and slice the tomato.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Take the brioche bun and slice it in half horizontally. On the bottom half, layer the smoked turkey breast evenly. Add the roasted red peppers on top of the turkey, followed by the avocado slices. If using, place the tomato slices and lettuce leaf next.

  2. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Place the muenster cheese slices over the top of the avocado and other ingredients. If you like, spread mayonnaise on the top half of the brioche bun and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Final Steps

  1. 4

    Complete the Sandwich

    Carefully place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to hold everything together. For added warmth, you can grill the sandwich on a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese is melted and the bun is golden.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
