Grilled Triple Cheese Sandwiches

December 12, 2012 · by amft · Leave a Comment

Growing up I could not get my fill of grilled cheese sandwiches. When I moved out at 18, I ate them A LOT! Easy and cheap! Come…you know you had your own go-to meal in college. What was it? Well, now that I’m the grown up…I hate eating plain ol’ grilled cheese sandwiches all the time with the kids. Hubbyman loves them too, but figured out a way to kick them up a notch!

Okay, really, there are 4 cheeses involved in this sandwich, but probably the star of the show is the bread. I am LOVING this Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Flax bread. It is super hearty and full of all sorts of health benefits.

I’ve seen it at the store for years, but it kind of scared me. I wondered if I would like it, even though I love hearty whole grain breads. Would Hubbyman like it? Would the kids like? I finally bit the bullet and I’m so glad I did. It is full of flavor with a very hearty texture. We love it for sandwiches or just toast in the morning. If you like a whole grain bread, then you have to get a loaf (or two) to try!

Let’s back to this sandwich! Because the bread is so hearty, it deserved a nice hearty sandwich….one slice of cheese was just not going to cut it. It needed THREE! Three types of cheeses, a large slice of tomato, a couple dill pickle slices, and a homemade dill mayo are the perfect accompaniment to the hearty bread!

Grilled Triple Cheese Sandwiches

2 slices of hearty bread

1 thick slice of tomato

2 thin slices of dill pickle

1/8 cup mayonnaise

1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese

1 slice Gruyere

1 slice Chipotle Gouda**

1 slice Fontina

butter

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and dill (** can't find Chipotle Gouda, then add a couple dashes hot sauce to the mayo).

Lightly, butter one side of each slice of bread and sprinkle butter with 1/2 tsp of Parmesan. Flip bread over and spread insides of bread with dill mayo. On one side add the tomato and add the pickle to the other side. Layer on cheeses. Combine both slices of bread.

Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until bread is golden brown. Flip carefully. Continue cooking until second side is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Disclaimer: I was sent bread to enjoy. I LOVED it, so I had to create a recipe using it. I was not compensated for this post; all opinions are my own!

Salmon BLT

June 27, 2012 · by amft · 14 Comments

Hubbyman goes out with the guys from work every couple of months to local breweries. He’s been raving about the Salmon BLT from his favorite hangout for awhile, but I’m not a huge fan of seafood, so I hardly cook it. Shocking, I know!

Well, we have this wonderful fresh Alaskan salmon that a friend sent us. He caught it in Alaska (of course) and then divided among friends and shipped it to us fresh! So, I knew the best thing to make would be the sandwich that hubbyman talks so much about. Only problem is that I’ve never been to this brewery nor have I had a taste of the infamous sandwich. I jumped on their site, looked up what goes on their sandwich and started planning.

Can I just tell you how happy I made my husband (and daughter) the night I made this! You’d think I just gave them a million dollars….they were over the moon in love with the sandwich. Who wouldn’t with all the cheese, bacon, salmon, and creamy pesto mayo?!?!

I think part of the fun was that I made it a built your own sammie night too! It looked so fun and the kids really got into piling all the goodies on their sandwich. It’s the best way to get kids to eat…let them help create it.

The blackened seasoning was perfect. A little spicy and tons of flavor. I did take a short cut and used premade pesto for the mayo, but if you have some leftover pesto, use it! And of course, I picked a spicy pepper jack cheese for our sandwiches, but the kids had colby jack. My mouth is watering just thinking about it…and this comes from a non-seafood fan.

Salmon BLT

Blackened Seasoning:

1 tbl paprika

1 tbl sugar

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne

Pesto Mayo:

1/3 c mayonnaise

2 tbl pesto

Sandwiches:

16 oz salmon (cut into 4 equal pieces, thin and wide is best)

8 slices hickory smoked bacon, cooked

4 lettuce leaves

4 tomato slices

4 slices pepper jack cheese (or your choice of cheese)

4 hearty rolls (such as ciabatta rolls)

Blackened Seasoning:

Combine spices in an airtight container.

Pesto Mayo:

In a small bowl, combine mayo and pesto. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Sandwiches:

Generously sprinkle salmon with seasoning (note: you won't use all the seasoning that you made). Let it sit while grill preheats to medium high.

Grill salmon using indirect heat (3-4-inches away from heat). Grill fillets for about 4-6 minutes (2-3 minutes per side) per ½ inch thickness, turning only once. Salmon continues to cook after being removed from the grill. Cook salmon until the meat begins to change color and becomes flaky. Check by inserting the tip of a sharp knife near the thickest part of the salmon and pull slightly. Well done salmon appears opaque and will flake easily.
