This weekend, enhance your Thanksgiving leftovers with Emmentaler AOP. We find the unique flavors of Emmentaler AOP cut through the familiar holiday flavors of a Thanksgiving feast and create a new and decadent experience.
Ingredients
Please include any combination of Thanksgiving leftovers that you think would go well
together. It’s a sandwich of Thanksgiving leftovers, after all! Ideas include:
- Turkey (ideally a combination of dark and white meat)
- Emmentaler AOP: two hardy slices per sandwich
- Stuffing
- Roasted vegetables: sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, parsnips, roasted carrots,msquash, and brussels sprouts (feel free to puree these if there are too many individual large pieces that could fall out of the sandwich)
- Cranberry sauce, or a cranberry jam
- Lettuce (optional for crunch)
- Bread: cranberry walnut bread is amazing, but also very dense. A nice sour dough loaf is ideal.
Preparation
- Place each bread slice on a cutting board, add cranberry sauce to one slice, and the softest ingredients (mashed potatoes, vegetable puree, etc.).
- Emmentaler AOP: add two hardy slices on top of the cranberry sauce slices. Set aside.
- Add firmer ingredients (stuffing, turkey) on top of the softer vegetables.
- Place optional lettuce slice on top of the softer vegetables.
- Top the sandwich with the slice of bread that has Emmentaler AOP/cranberry sauce.
Warm option: warm the turkey, stuffing, and vegetables in a mesh strainer over boiling water, a toaster oven or microwave could also work. Coat one side of each bread slice with butter. Prepare the sandwich per above instructions, then add to a sizzling pan over medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is softened without burning the bread.
