Sandwich Week – Peasant Ham and Brie Sandwich

A Cowboy's Wife — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:01:52 +0000

And it comes to the end of sandwich week here at My Wooden Spoon but I’m leaving you with a super easy and VERY good sandwich recipe. This was my absolute fave from Chef John Li and I’m sure it will become one of your favorites as well!

One thing I learned from the trip, is that a sandwich doesn’t have to be just sliced white bread with sandwich meat. It can be cold or hot, with buns or tortillas, and can include your favorites ingredients other than lettuce and tomato. Be creative so that the next time you’re serving up sandwiches, you’ll have eyebrows raised and smiles on faces with these not-so typical sandwich recipes!

And don’t forget to give the sandwich recipe I made a try! Roasted Red Peppers and Roast Beef Wrap!

This week’s sandwiches included the French Dip Roast Beef Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Sweet Spicy Chicken and Bacon Wrap.

Recipe: Peasant Ham and Brie Sandwich

Summary: Quick Fix Lunch idea that is VERY tasty!

Ingredients

3 slices Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon
3 slices Brie cheese
2 tsp. Apricot preserves
2 slices peasant bread
1 -2 tsp. Grey Poupon Harvest Coarse Ground Mustard
4 slices Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Black Forest Ham
1 Tbsp. Butter

Instructions

Cook bacon in skillet or griddle, pour off grease leaving a small amount of grease for grilling sandwich. Remove rind from Brie using a vegetable peeler. Using a cheese wire, slice cold Brie cheese into about 1/4 thick strips. Spread apricot preserves on one slice of bread and mustard on the other slice of bread. Place ham and bacon on mustard; place Brie on apricot slice of bread and put the two together. Spread softened butter evenly on each side of bread. Grill on medium heat about 3 minutes until both sides are browned.

Sandwich Week – Sweet Spicy Chicken & Bacon Wrap

A Cowboy's Wife — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:01:42 +0000

Earlier I shared the French Dip Roast Beef Sandwich with Caramelized Onion, today, a wrap. Wraps are fun way to do sandwiches instead of the same ol’ bread slices and they make for a pretty presentation as well.

This recipe has 3 parts. The spread, the dressing, and the filing. The dressing can be made ahead of time to save you some time. Another great recipe by Chef John Li that I hope you guys all enjoy.

Remember, if you try some of these recipes, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section!

Country Fried Breakfast Sandwich

A Cowboy's Wife — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:43:47 +0000

Just like grandma used to make! I’m sure we all have various ways that we make our breakfast sandwiches and I thought it would be fun to show you how we make them. Since this involves some eggs, I encourage you to join in Christine’s Breakfast Challenge by eating an egg a day. Lots of benefits of eating eggs so go read up on it and take the challenge.

INGREDIENTS:

2 slices of toast
bacon
eggs

DIRECTIONS:

It doesn’t get much easier than this guys. Fry up your bacon, toast your bread (I put a little butter on it) and fry your eggs. Layer them up like in the pictures and you’re done!! SOOOO easy and a nice alternative to the traditional bacon and eggs.

I recommend adding some cheese, perhaps even some green chilies! YUMMY!
