Mini Toasted Turkey & Mozzarella Sandwiches are going to be your new favorite thing. I promise. I love most foods, but no menu excites me more than a slew of appetizers for me to graze through at my leisure, and when these little sandwiches are around I am all in.
These sandwiches are made of all of the things I love. A crispy baguette slice toasted to perfection; a schmear of spicy mustard; a juicy slice of tomato; wispy-thin slivers of red onion and a generous slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. What’s not to love, right? They’re full of flavor and really easy to make. They’re the perfect choice for a last minute get-together or serve them up with a hearty salad as a meal.
Mini Toasted Turkey & Mozzarella Sandwiches
Tomato and mozzarella are a classic pairing. Throw in a little spicy mustard, turkey and red onion and you’ve got a deluxe grilled cheese in miniature. Don’t have a baguette handy? No problem. Slices of toast cut into quarters make an excellent substitution.
TIPS:
Spicy brown mustard adds a tasty pop of flavor but Dijon mustard is an equally delicious substitute.
I like fresh mozzarella but regular, shredded mozzarella will work here, too.
