Unusual Sandwiches

I realize it’s a southern favorite and- more importantly- a cheese, but…I never warmed up to pimento cheese.
That said…good lookin’ sammy right there.
Mom wanted creole roast beef sandwiches for dinner the other night, so voila! Had enough for dinner and leftovers.
The sandwiches on day 1 were made with toasted ciabatta rolls. This was day 2, with toasted sourdough. The bread is smeared with garlic aioli (I ran out making mom’s) or mayo. There’s also a layer of creamy horseradish. There’s smoked Gruyere on the bottom, topped with beef in a brown gravy, grilled onions, and sautéed portobello mushrooms.
The bowl to the left is a frite sauce (French for fries with a sauce) with green onions. The sauce in question is equal parts yellow mustard and A1 steak sauce, with Tabasco and black pepper to taste.
Also on the plate are picked turnips and castelvetrano olives.

Today’s breakfast: open faced ham, chicken, egg & cheese sandwich on toasted pita

Buttered, toasted pita
2 pieces each of chicken and ham cold cuts
3 pieces of caramelized onion Monterey Jack cheese
Over medium egg
Tajin seasoning
I just discovered Tajin seasoning the other day, so I’m experimenting.
After the pita was toasted and buttered and the egg was frying, I started assembling the sandwich. After piling everything on, I gave the cold cuts & cheese a quick zap in the microwave to slightly warm them and melt the cheese just a bit. Then the egg went on top. I was intending to cook the egg over easy, but got an ill-timed phone call. Regardless, this was a winner!
Tajin is a Mexican spice blend with mild chiles, salt and powdered citric juice. The flavor is lime-forward with a very slightly warm finish.
In this experiment, I seasoned the egg with it during the frying process, but also sprinkled it on the naked buttered pita and again on the cold cuts. That ensured it would suffuse the entire dish.
