Toasted Cheese and Beef Sausage Sandwich
A Turkish-style pressed sandwich built from seared beef sausage, melted provolone cheese, tomato, and pickled gherkins layered in crusty bread then griddle-toasted in butter until golden. The sausage is browned first for depth and savour before assembly, and paprika adds warmth to the filling.
