Born in 1930s Havana, the elegant Elena Ruz sandwich layers sliced turkey breast with cream cheese and strawberry jam between whole wheat bread, lightly grilled. This sweet-savoury classic is one of the most beloved sandwiches in Cuban diners.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the turkey breast

8 min

Sauté the turkey breast in the olive oil over medium heat for 8 minutes, until cooked through and browned on both sides, then slice it thinly.

2

Assemble the sandwich

7 min

Split the bread and spread cream cheese on one side, strawberry jam on the other, then layer in the cooked turkey slices and close the sandwich.

3

Grill the sandwich

10 min

Butter the outside of the bread and press it on a grill with a sandwich press or a heavy pan until both sides are crisp, about 10 minutes.

Reminder

Spread the cream cheese evenly out to the edges of the bread, or it oozes out once warmed. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy (cream cheese).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Using guava jam instead of strawberry gives a more authentically Cuban flavour; increase the cream cheese slightly in that case to balance the sweetness.

Bu sandviçi ilk kez geçen hafta sonu denedim, hindi göğsünü 8 dakika yerine 10 dakikada pişirdim çünkü dilimlerim biraz kalın kalmıştı; çilek reçelinin tatlılığı krem peynirle güzel dengelendi, ızgarada 10 dakikada tam kıvamına geldi.

Sandviç presim yok, ağır bir tavayla bastırmak yeterli sonuç veriyor mu? Ayrıca krem peyniri ve reçeli önceden hazırlayıp buzdolabında bekletebilir miyim, yoksa hindiyle birleştirince ekmek yumuşar mı?

Ağır tavayla bastırmak gayet iyi çalışır, presin görevini görür. Krem peynir ve reçeli sandviçi kapatmadan hemen önce sürmenizi öneririm, aksi halde ekmek beklerken yumuşayabilir.
