Ingredients

• 12 slices Cuban Bread or Baguette
• 12 slices Turkey Breast
• 4 tbsp Strawberry Jam
• 4 tbsp Vegan Cream Cheese
• 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

1. 1Lay out 12 slices of Cuban Bread or Baguette. On 6 of these slices, spread 4 tbsp of Vegan Cream Cheese evenly. On the other 6 slices, spread 4 tbsp of Strawberry Jam evenly.
2. 2On top of the cream cheese on each of the 6 slices, layer 2 slices of Turkey Breast. This will be 12 slices of turkey in total.
3. 3Place the slices of bread with the strawberry jam on top of the turkey to close the sandwiches. You should now have 6 assembled mini sandwiches.
4. 4Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of Butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt and become foamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Carefully place the 6 assembled sandwiches into the heated skillet. Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and slightly flattened. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. 6Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Cut each sandwich in half. Serve immediately.
