How to Make Amadeus Sandwich

  1. Spread 2 tablespoons of roasted vegetable spread on each slice of bread.
  2. Sprinkle each slice with 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste) and a pinch of salt.
  3. Layer 3-4 slices of turkey breast, 2 slices of tomato, and 1 slice of cheese on one slice of bread.
  4. Top with the other slice of bread. Gently press down on the sandwich, but avoid flattening completely.
  5. For best results, cut the sandwich in half. Serve immediately OR wrap tightly in plastic wrap, foil, or parchment paper secured with a rubber band and refrigerate for 4-8 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
