Ham and Cheese Flatbread with Tomato and Red Onion

These toasted ham and cheese flatbread sandwiches with Dijon, red onion and tomato were inspired by the jalapeno cheddar tuna melts I made on mini naan bread a while ago. I loved the way the naan got a little bit crispy but still had a nice chew and it just could not be easier toContinueContinue reading “Ham and Cheese Flatbread with Tomato and Red Onion”

Havarti Avocado Sandwiches

My family is pretty into sandwiches. We all love them and are happy to eat them often. Old school grinders are one of my favorites, as we used to eat them at my grandma’s all the time when I was young. Near and dear to my heart though is a fabulous veggie sandwich. This isContinueContinue reading “Havarti Avocado Sandwiches”

Pimento Cheesesteaks

This amazing pimento cheesesteak sandwich is a take on the usual cheesesteak but with a southern twist using pimento cheese. I’m including my favorite recipe for homemade pimento cheese that I have made ever since we moved to the south, but you can easily sub any favorite store brand if you have one. We reallyContinueContinue reading “Pimento Cheesesteaks”

Bacon and Roasted Tomato Sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella and Pesto

This sandwich is sort of a super dressed up BLT, with bacon, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, pesto and arugula dressed in a little good balsamic vinegar. I absolutely love a standard BLT and it is one of my favorite sandwiches, but it is so key to have good summer tomatoes to make a BLT shineContinueContinue reading “Bacon and Roasted Tomato Sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella and Pesto”

Kimchi Grilled Cheese

Korean food doesn’t traditionally contain much cheese, however in recent years a lot of Korean street food has started incorporating it and it turns out cheese and kimchi is an amazing combination. I love the way the spicy and tangy flavor of the kimchi cuts through some of the richness of the cheese. You canContinueContinue reading “Kimchi Grilled Cheese”

Italian Sausage with Giardiniera Relish and Garlic Aioli

I saw a similar recipe to this one a while back, and it has been in the back of my mind since. I have to confess, I am generally not the biggest Italian sausage fan. It is not something I’d go out of my way to eat. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t reallyContinueContinue reading “Italian Sausage with Giardiniera Relish and Garlic Aioli”

Ranch Chicken and Bacon Sandwich on Ciabatta

Chicken, bacon and ranch is kind of a classic combo for a reason. This sandwich takes that combo and adds some pepper jack cheese for a little heat and kick and the homemade ranch here is amazing…so much better than the bottle stuff and it is super easy to make too. I used my favoriteContinueContinue reading “Ranch Chicken and Bacon Sandwich on Ciabatta”

Fried Egg and Mortadella Sandwich with Pesto

Since we raise chickens, we eat a lot of eggs. A fried egg sandwich is pretty darn good, and I loved this version with crisped up mortadella, cheese, arugula and pesto. I have never fried mortadella before, and love it in its normal state, but it was pretty good crispy too. The pesto really addedContinueContinue reading “Fried Egg and Mortadella Sandwich with Pesto”

Tortas de Chilorio

As I said I would share, here is the torta I made with the teleras. This torta is from the Nopalito cookbook, and this picture doesn’t do it justice. We were in such a hurry to eat these while hot, I barely glanced at the photo I took, and it was really dark in myContinueContinue reading “Tortas de Chilorio”

Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tomago Sando)

A common thing you can find at convenience stores in Japan (side note: Japanese convivence stores are amazing and we really need to get something similar here) are these crustless sandwiches made on fluffy milk bread. They are filled with egg salad, katsu, or even fruit. Here is my recipe for the katsu sandwich. ItContinueContinue reading “Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tomago Sando)”
