Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet / Griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Sourdough English Muffin Sliced and toasted. Option to use 2 slices of sourdough english muffin bread
  • 1/2 TBSP mayo
  • 3 pieces lunch meat turkey or chicken
  • 1 slice swiss cheese can substitute cheddar, havarti or provolone
  • 1 tomato sliced 1/8' thin
  • 2-3 green olives sliced thin
  • *1 egg *Optional - we like to make a fried egg

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating your cast iron skillet, or alternate baking vessel and melting some butter.
    Open your sourdough English muffin and place face down into the pan. Allow the English muffin to toast and turn golden brown. Remove the English muffin from the heat and put on a plate. Smear the English muffin with mayo.
  • Add the lunch meat to the pan, allowing it to warm up, though not too hot to dry it out. Place the Swiss cheese on top of the lunch meat to allow it to warm from the heat of the pan. Once heated, place both on the English muffin.
  • *Option to add a fried egg. If you are making a fried egg, do so now.
    Once the egg is cooked, place on top of the cheese.
  • Slice the tomato and green olives and add to sandwich.
    Finish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Melting the Cheese
If the Swiss cheese will not melt, throw the lunch meat and Swiss cheese into the microwave for a moment. You can also place a lid or melting plate on top of the lunch meat and cheese. Be sure not to cover the entire sandwich, as the English muffin will not stay as firm due to the heat/steam.
  • Tomato
We love Campari tomatoes as they are consistent in flavor, texture and size. Beefsteak tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes also work well due to their size.
  • Optional additional protein (Egg)
When we need a little extra protein boost, we love adding a fried egg to this sandwich. It is a delicious way to enjoy a protein packed meal with little extra work.
