Butter (or mayo) the outside of each slice of bread.
Use a cookie cutter to cut your bread into shapes, and a slightly smaller cookie cutter to cut your cheese and turkey.
Layer cheddar and turkey between the bread slices and pinch the sides to seal.
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden and crispy, flipping once, until the cheese is fully melted.
Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and to prevent sticking.
Experiment with different cookie cutter shapes for various occasions.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or herbs on the buttered side before cooking.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can use any melty cheese like mozzarella, Swiss, or provolone.
Can I make these ahead of time?
It's best to serve them fresh, but you can prepare the sandwiches and refrigerate them before cooking. Cook them fresh when ready to serve.
What bread works best for this recipe?
Any bread works well, but softer bread like white or brioche is easier to cut into shapes.
Can I make this recipe without a cookie cutter?
Yes, you can simply use the bread slices as they are or cut them into shapes using a knife.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, use a dairy-free cheese alternative and a plant-based butter or mayo.
