Ingredients

4 slices sourdough or other hearty bread
2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices Swiss cheese
8 ounces deli turkey slices
4 slices bacon cooked crisp and cut in half
1 medium tomato sliced thin
4 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Prep Bread: Place 4 slices sourdough or other hearty bread on a cutting board. Spread 2 Tablespoons butter on one side of each slice. Flip bread and spread 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise on the other side (the mayo sides will be the inside of the sandwiches).
Assemble Sandwiches: Place 2 slices of bread on a cutting board, butter-side down. Divide 4 slices Swiss cheese, 8 ounces deli turkey slices, 4 slices bacon, and 1 medium tomato (sliced) evenly between the 2 slices of bread. Add 4 slices provolone cheese, dividing between the sandwiches, then close with the remaining bread slices, butter-side facing out.
Cook Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Reduce stovetop heat if bread is browning too quickly.
Serve: Remove sandwiches from skillet, slice each in half, and serve hot.

Notes

Refrigerator Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to get the bread crisp again.
