Commercial or home-made, simple or complex, cold or hot, let's share some recipes!
I just made a new one that I like:
Sourdough bread
Mayo
Spicy Brown Mustard
Genoa Salami
Smoked Blue Cheese
I love them, but haven't tried blue cheeses on many sandwiches. I usually eat them straight or on crackers, or the occasional burger. So this was a true experiment.
Well, the smoky tang of the cheese married well with the other ingredients. I actually should have put more cheese on the sandwich than I did.
Bonus: a buddy of mine loves Monte Christo sandwiches; I question his sanity. But one of his favorite incarnations of it came from a restaurant that went out of business. Here's how I helped him emulate the taste.
A normal one has ham & cheese served between two pieces of powdered sugar-dusted French toast, accented with strawberry jam or preserves. He doesn't know how to make French Toast, and even if he did, he'd probably not bother anyway
I told him to substitute a pair of frosted strawberry pop-tarts for the bread and jam. He may have called me a genius.
