1. 1
   Mise En Place

   Gather bread, turkey, brie, cranberry sauce, butter, pepper, a knife, board, skillet, spatula, and heavy pan; measure all ingredients. · 3 min

   What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Build Sandwiches

   Spread cranberry sauce on 2 sourdough slices, layer turkey and brie, season with pepper, then close with remaining bread. · 3 min

   What to look for: The filling is evenly layered and the sandwiches sit flat.

3. 3
   Butter Bread

   Spread softened butter over the outside faces of each sandwich so the bread browns evenly in the hot skillet. · 2 min

   What to look for: A thin, even coat of butter covers the outer bread surfaces.

4. 4
   Press First Side

   Heat a skillet over medium low heat, add sandwiches, place a heavy pan on top, and cook until the underside is deep golden. · 4 min

   What to look for: The bottom crust is crisp and evenly golden brown.

5. 5
   Melt Second Side

   Flip sandwiches carefully, press again, and cook until both sides are crisp and the brie visibly softens at the edges. · 4 min

   When it is done: Turkey is ready when steaming hot throughout because it is already cooked.

6. 6
   Serve Hot

   Slice each melt in half and serve at once while the brie is creamy and the cranberry sauce is warm. · 1 min

   What to look for: The cheese gently oozes when the sandwich is cut.
