Ingredients

• 2 slices of sourdough bread
• 4 ounces sliced ham
• 4 ounces sliced turkey
• 2 ounces Swiss cheese
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for cheese sauce)
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: sliced tomatoes or pickles for topping

How to Make Loaded Melty Deli Sandwich

1. Begin by making the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
2. Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. While the cheese sauce is cooling slightly, preheat a skillet over medium heat.
5. Assemble your sandwich by layering the ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, and spinach between the slices of sourdough bread.
6. Spread a generous amount of the cheese sauce over the top of the sandwich, then close it with the other slice of bread.
7. Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty.
8. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and drizzle any remaining cheese sauce over the top. Add sliced tomatoes or pickles if desired.
9. Slice in half and serve immediately for the ultimate melty experience!
