Notes:
Is it ridiculous to write a recipe for a sandwich? I don’t know. But in this case, this sandwich is so amazingly delicious, and only available for your enjoyment once a year (what with this cranberry sauce being a necessary ingredient and all), I just have to share it.
Note that some gorgonzolas are more spreadable than others, and they vary in sharpness/funkiness. More spreadable makes it easier to work with on a sandwich, and I'd say you're looking for a medium-sharpness/funkiness. But whatever you get, I think you'll love it.
(And whatever you do, please use the bourbon in your cranberry sauce.)
Best. Sandwich. Ever.
