Just 5 minutes ago I was munching on my favorite sandwich: turkey on wheat with provolone, brown mustard, a sprinkling of sea salt and ground black pepper. Heaven, seriously.
But I was thinking, maybe I need to branch out, find a new favorite sandwich. I know you Home Eccers are good eaters, so tell me: what’s your favorite sandwich?
Home made barbeque beef.
or a Whopper with cheese.
Ham, salami (genoa, not hard), provolone on a nice crusty piece of italian bread. With onions, oil, vinegar, some italian spices and lettuce. Mostly in NJ it is called an Italian sub.
Left over grilled chicken, peppers, and prov cheese on hard toasted french bread. Or my own blend of chicken salad on rye with green leaf and a thick slice of home grown tomato.
I really love chicken salad made with yogurt and fruit (grapes, pinapple) on walnut bread. Even better with some sharp cheddar. Yum!
Bacon, onion, and tomato with mayo on whole grain bread. But the tomatoes have to be the real ones that people grow, not the plastic-y kind for sale at the grocery, so I can only have them in the summer.
This post inspired me to go make my most recent favorite sandwich. Yummy!
A French Roll, toasted, with a bit of mild shredded cheddar, 5 slices deli sliced smoked ham that has been heated and slightly browned in a frying pan, about 8 slices of pepperoni that has also been crisped up in a frying pan, a sliced really ripe Roma tomato, a small handful of baby spinach, and 4 sliced green olives.
It’s not quite an Italian, but it has quelled my pregnant cravings for Italians and it is wonderful! I don’t even need mayo or mustard on the bread with the olives.
Simple: Grilled cheese with sharp cheddar on homemade, slightly sweet whole wheat bread. Salty-sweet… Or acid-creamy tomato and mayo on sourdough.
Turkey and cantaloupe on jalapeno cornbread.
Banh mi thit nuong. Char-grilled pork, pate, mayo, cilantro, pickled carrots and onions, and daikon radish on a baguette.
Ham, dill havarti, tomato, avocado, dijon: delish (had it for lunch today). Also partial to chicken, pesto, mozza/provolone, tomato, lettuce.
My favorite sandwich has always been the Lady Ida’s Prize, which I described here: http://makeshiftmeals.blogspot.com/2007/12/lady-idas-prize_05.html
However, now that I can’t have dairy, Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich over at The Pioneer Woman Cooks is our stand-by, scrumptious dinner.
Avocado and cheddar with sprouts, red onion, mayo and honey mustard on toasted wheat.
A BLT with homegrown tomatoes and lettuce. Nothing beast that.
grilled chicken, bacon, goat cheese, avacado, sprouts, fresh basil, good tomatoes and a smear of pesto mayo on fresh sourdough or any asiago topped bread
savory bagel of your choice (I like Everything or Asiago Cheese)
cream cheese
turkey
lettuce/tomato
pickles
sprouts
Genoa on soft seedless rye with a smear of mustard and a half dill. Or bacon on wheat with peanut butter, lettuce and potato chips (yes, on the sandwich).
But they give me a lot of Jewish Guilt, those sandwiches- barring turkey substitutes which aren’t nearly as good. So now I do fresh mozz on crusty baguette with sundried tomatoes, basil, olive oil and roasted red peppers sometimes. SO good.
I make a salad out of riccota cheese and finely chopped veggies of choice. I like peppers, onion tomato and mushrooms. Mix well with a splash of soy sauce to taste. Spread over bread of choice and broil until bubbly. Top with fresh basil. This has been a fav of my kids since they were little. One good way to get them to eat their veggies!
Grilled cheese with bacon on sourdough with a side of sour pickles
OR
smoked turkey and provolone on rye with honey mustard, avocado, bacon, tomato, and spinach instead of lettuce
i’m a corned beef reuben fan myself. (not pastrami.)
roast beef with havarti (I prefer dill havarti) on wheat with mayo and mustard (with lettuce and tomato when I have them in the house.
or
cheesy tuna melt – tuna salad meets grilled cheese. YUMMMMM!!!!!
Mmmm… I’ve been thinking about making my favorite for a few days now….
Turkey & Provolone w/ grilled or sauteed onions & honey mustard on rye. This one has to be grilled!
Oh yuummmm. I am sooo hungry now! 🙂
I love honey turkey and ham on a soft bagel w/swiss, sharp cheddar, miracle whip light and shredded lettuce.
Or tuna mixed w/miracle whip lt., swiss cheese on wheat bread grilled.
OR turkey and sharp cheddar on french bread, cooked open faced in the toaster oven…..
And NOW I am going to go make all 3! j/k!! lol
roast beef and turkey with cheese (depends on my mood) dijon mustard and mayo with green olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, alfalfa sprouts and maybe some black pepper and oregano.
