2 tablespoons softened butter

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup milk

1 cup coarsely grated parmesan cheese

4 freshly cut slices from a sourdough loaf

6 ounces thinly sliced turkey

1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

2 slices muenster cheese

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and chile flakes. In a medium bowl, whisk egg and milk. Spread parmesan on a plate.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, melt half the seasoned butter over medium heat. Dip 1 bread slice in egg mixture, coating one side only. Dip coated side into parmesan. Place to one side in frying pan, cheese side down. Repeat with 1 of remaining bread slices. Arrange turkey, avocado, cilantro, and muenster on slices, dividing evenly.

Step 3

Dip remaining bread into egg and then into parmesan. Arrange on sandwiches, cheese side up, and cook over medium heat until undersides are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Lift sandwiches and add remaining butter to pan; flip and cook until second side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.

Step 4
