Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the produce. Halve the brioche buns and toast them until golden brown.
  2. Trim and discard the root end from the baby lettuce; separate the leaves. Slice the tomato into ¼-inch rounds and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make the Dijonnaise.
  4. Spread the Dijonnaise on the cut sides of the toasted buns. Layer the turkey, gouda, lettuce (use about two leaves per sandwich; save remaining lettuce for another use) and tomato slices on the bottom buns. Top with the other bun halves and serve.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, toast the brioche buns in a skillet with a little butter.

If you prefer a warm sandwich, briefly heat the turkey and gouda in the microwave or on the skillet before assembling.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute gouda with another mild, melty cheese like provolone or havarti.

How can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

Assemble the sandwich just before serving to keep the buns from getting soggy. You can prep the Dijonnaise and slice the tomato in advance.

Is there a substitute for Dijon mustard?

You can use yellow mustard or whole-grain mustard for a different flavor profile.
