Sandwich
Method
Sandwich
Prepare bun
If you prefer the bun warm and slightly toasty, split the hoagie bun lengthwise. Lightly brush the cut faces with the olive oil (optional). Place cut-side down in a medium skillet over medium heat or under a broiler for 1–2 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and place on a work surface. If not toasting, simply split the bun and proceed.
Spread condiments
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half of the bun. If using, spread the Dijon mustard on the top half or swirl into the mayo before applying.
Assemble turkey and cheese
Layer the sliced deli turkey over the mayonnaise on the bottom half, arranging the 4 oz in an even pile. Place the 2 slices of Havarti cheese on top of the turkey so they cover the meat evenly.
Add produce
Place the 2 washed and dried lettuce leaves over the cheese. Arrange the 3 tomato slices over the lettuce in a single layer. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance flavor.
Finish and serve
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun. If desired, press down gently and cut the sandwich in half crosswise with a sharp knife. Serve immediately. Leftovers: wrap tightly and refrigerate; consume within 24 hours for best texture.
