Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by prepping all your ingredients. Slice the avocado, and roast the red peppers if they are not pre-roasted. Slice the brioche buns in half.

  2. 2

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    In a skillet or toaster, lightly toast the brioche buns until they are golden brown. This adds texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer the smoked turkey breast evenly. Top it with roasted red peppers, avocado slices, and muenster cheese.

  2. 4

    Add Condiments

    If using, spread mayonnaise on the top half of the brioche bun. You can also add lettuce for crunch. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Complete the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the brioche bun over the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to hold everything together.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Sandwich

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately while the bun is still warm. Enjoy your 'Karen' sandwich!
