Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Bread
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar and Monterey Cheese Mix (divided)
- 6 Pickle Slices
Sandwich Fillings
- 5 Slices Turkey Lunchmeat
- 2 Tomato Slices
- 1 Avocado (peeled and sliced)
- 2 Red Onion Slices
- 2 Tablespoons Real Mayonnaise
- Lettuce (as needed)
Garnishes (Optional)
- Minced Parsley
- Small Pickles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cheese bread.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Dry Pickles: Lay pickle slices on paper towels and gently pat them dry without squeezing to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange Pickles: On the prepared pan, place three pickle slices side-by-side on one side, slightly over by 2-3 inches, and repeat with the other three slices to make two separate rows.
- Add Cheese: Cover each bunch of pickle slices with about ½ cup of shredded cheese, fully covering the pickles and forming a square shape with the cheese.
- Bake Cheese Bread: Bake in the 400°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese edges are golden and crunchy.
- Cool: Remove from oven and allow the cheese bread to cool for about 10 minutes to firm up and prevent breaking.
- Assemble Sandwich – Place Bread: Ensure the side with the pickles is oriented inside the sandwich for the best flavor and texture.
- Spread Mayo & Add Lettuce: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each piece of cheese bread and layer lettuce first.
- Add Turkey: Roll each turkey slice and place on top of the lettuce evenly.
- Add Vegetables: Layer tomato slices and red onion slices over the turkey rolls.
- Add Avocado & Parsley: Top with avocado slices and sprinkle with minced fresh parsley if desired.
- Finish Sandwich & Garnish: Place the top cheese bread over the fillings. Secure with a toothpick and small pickle if desired, then slice in half and enjoy.
