FOOD PORN: (RECIPE) GRILLED SANDWICHES EDITION
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
They're essentially sandwiches, but just so much better.
Yes, your fingers may complain as they get oily from the crispy, buttered and olive oil pan-fried outsides, but your taste buds will say "Thank you, you have chosen well."
I probably haven't convinced you enough to have you wanting to make one of these yourself, but let me tell you: it only takes you a few more minutes to upgrade your boring regular sandwich into something they charge for a lot of money at cafes and bistros!
Avocado, havarti, cheddar, in rye & flax bread grilled sandwich
Sauteed asparagus, cheddar, roast beef, mozzarella, egg, in light rye bread grilled sandwich
As per making a regular sandwich, begin with:
Your choice of two slices (thin or thick? You get to decide that) of bread/bun/baked-floury-goodness, then
Spread butter on one side of each and an optional condiment on the other side (ketchup, mayo, hot sauce, mustard...).
Oil your medium-heated pan with some olive oil (or regular if you don't have - olive makes it taste better though)
Place one slice (buttered down) on the pan, then layer on your cheese, meat, egg, veggies, fruits...
Place the other side (buttered up) to sandwich it all, and press down with a spatula...
When that side is browned and crispy, flip and press down it down. When that other side it also browned and crispy,
Cut (or not) and serve ~
Not fully a sandwich, but just as delicious: sauteed bacon and onion, topped with Brie, baked on light rye bread
Egg, mozzarella, havarti in sesame bagel grilled sandwich
Gala apple, cheddar, mozzarella in english muffin grilled sandwich
These are great for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner, so there's no excuse to not make these for yourself now (:

Last weekend I saw a Rolls Royce, and asked daddy to take a picture of me with it:
Last week I also saw an FRS, and asked mommy to take a picture of me with it:
She said "No, you can just go to the auto show"
"But mommy, I didn't get to go this year."
So I never got a picture with that FRS.
Yesterday, I saw a bright royal blue car, and from afar I thought, No, that can't be the 370Z... But after a few more steps towards the car, the driver started the engine, the rear lights turned on, and it was the 370Z.
The starting-up sound still lingers in my ears as though it was my ringtone, and lets just leave my strong feelings towards this car as that.
Do you ever get so excessively happy and excited in public that you can't conceal your feelings?
