Did anyone say sandwiches?
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all having a great week. I am also doing great and just taking life one day at a time. Sandwiches are the most convenient meals one would have, slap in some filling/ingredients of choice onto two slices of bread and you have yourself a sandwich. Since we are on the subject of sandwiches, I decided to share two delicious varieties: the well-known BLT and a jalapeno popper grilled sandwich. I am partial to the BLT, but I think I was sold once I tried the jalapeno popper one. Both are fabulous sandwiches and you can twist them by adding any other fillings you wish but before that, I would suggest you try this version first and then decide later. For the BLT & jalapeno popper grilled sandwiches, you will need;
Ingredients
- Thick slices of bread
- 4 rashes of bacon
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 chopped jalapeno or more
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- 1/4 tsp onion granules
- Softened butter for spreading
- Pesto mayo
- Sliced tomatoes
- Lettuce leaves iceberg preferably
- Cheddar cheese slices
METHOD
- In a preheated pan, fry your bacon rashes until brown and crispy and until some of the fat is rendered.
- Then chop half of them up into small pieces and set aside.
- Add your cream cheese, jalapenos, garlic and onion granules and give it a good mix.
- Butter both slices of bread for the BLT, flip them and spread the pesto mayo, add slices of tomato and rashes of bacon and finally the lettuce slices.
- Into a preheated pan butter side down and brown them slightly on both sides to avoid soggy lettuce.
- Once both sides are browned, it’s done and take it of the heat.
- Butter other slices, flip and spread the jalapeno mixture.
- Repeat with the jalapeno version only this time you can add a slice of cheese at the end to make it even more creamier.
- Slice them up serve and enjoy.
TIP: Make sure not to let the BLT brown for too long to avoid getting the lettuce soggy.
That’s it for today some grilled BLT and jalapeno sandwiches for you to try out and tell me what you think. If you need other sandwich ideas, try out my open-faced mustard sandwiches. They are heavenly and pack a punch, until next time see you next time.
