ISO: ISO: Your suggestion for a restaurant sandwich.....

In Search Of:
Open-face ham, cheddar, and apple butter sandwiches

This recipe is from Bon Appétit, October 2004 - We love it! I use about 2 Tbs of the Dijon - 4 was too much for us. I bet that this would be just as good on a Bays English muffin... or 2!

Thinly sliced roast turkey can be used instead of Black Forest ham. Makes 6

3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, or 6 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple butter
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 pounds Black Forest ham, thinly sliced
12 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped

Brush cut side of ciabatta rolls with oil. Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet. Broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. Top with ham, then cheese. Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

This is always a success whenever I serve it: Turkey and Chutney...

-hot crusty French bread smeared with mayo

-in a hot saute pan stir together some thin sliced turkey and swiss together into a hot mass

-stuff into hot bread and top with your favorite mango chutney

 
Another favority is vegetables in a pita:

Could be any assortment of your favorites. Here's what we like:

-split open whole wheat pitas
-smear with hummus
-stuff in:
shredded carrots
sliced tomatoes
shredded jack cheese
avocado slices
shredded lettuce
alfalfa sprouts

YUM!

 
Smoked Turkey Waldorf Salad on Croissants...

I make a standard Waldorf salad (using mayo rather than whipped cream) and mix in smoked diced turkey. The crunch of the veggies and the sweet-tart of the apple is a nice combination. For a twist, it could be served on rosemary raisin bread, then grilled.

 
WOW..you guys!!! Came back to check and look at all these! smileys/smile.gif

I'll be going though all these wonderful sounding sandwiches and printing them off for my cousin! I stopped in yesterday afternoon for my usual Salmon BLT and told her I'd posted for her. She was pleased. smileys/smile.gif

My goodness, you guys are gooood!

Thanks so very much! I'll let you know if she adds any to the menu!

Blessings to all!

 
Smoked Salmon Benedict

I thought of another favorite - hope I'm not too late. We had this at a French bistro and I've recreated it at home. My luck with hollandaise is inconsistant so I often use Knorr - makes this fast to prepare. I do prefer the lemony taste of homemade hollandaise to the Knorr so sometimes I add a squeeze of lemon.

1/2 Bays English muffin, split
1 pat of butter
1-2 Tbs cream cheese
3-4 strips of smoked salmon
1 poached egg
Knorr hollandaise sauce

Lightly toast and butter the English muffin half. Spread with cream cheese, top with smoked salmon strips, the poached egg and cover with hollandaise. Pure bliss!

 
...and we just ordered a panini grill from FinerKitchens! Good timing, Gayle. Now we can

use all of these recipe ideas too.

 
Hey Deb! I made these for dinner last night and we loved them.

I added some red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little zip, and grilled them instead of broiling them. They were very good, and I have two filets left over that are going to find themselves in a delish salad for lunch. Thanks for the recipe! One question, I assumed you meant 1/4 cup shallots? I thought it called for scallions so that is what I had to sub for the shallots.
