Ingredients
  

8 slices of whole grain bread

8 ounces of sliced turkey breast (deli-style or roasted)

8 slices of Swiss cheese

1 cup of fresh baby spinach leaves

¼ cup of Dijon mustard

¼ cup of mayonnaise

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

½ teaspoon of dried oregano

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: Sliced pickles or ripe tomatoes for added flavor and texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Set this flavorful spread aside for later use.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: On a clean countertop, lay out the slices of whole grain bread in pairs. On one side of each slice, generously spread the Dijon-mayo mixture you prepared in the previous step.

        Layer Ingredients: Take four slices of the spread-side-up bread and layer them with sliced turkey breast, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Add a handful of fresh baby spinach, and if desired, layer on sliced pickles or ripe tomatoes. Top with the remaining slices of bread, ensuring the spread is facing inward.

          Brush with Olive Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently brush this aromatic mixture over the top of each assembled sandwich to enhance flavor and promote crispiness.

            Bake the Sandwiches: Arrange the assembled sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling delightfully.

              Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute before slicing each sandwich in half diagonally. Serve them warm, paired with your favorite chips or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal.
