Fancy Grilled Sandwiches

These are some of my favorite sandwiches to make. All it takes is some tomatoes, veggies, various cheeses, and bread + some spices.


This is what I used:
- 2 slices of home made bread
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 1 mushroom
- 1 thin slice bulgarian cheese
- 1 thin slice smoked gouda
- 1 table spoon shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 thin slice blue cheese
- a bit of butter 
- a bit of mustard (you can substitute with curry powder -- it gives it a different tasty flavor)

Preparation & cooking time - 10 min.

On the bread spread the butter and mustard. Place a thin slice of bulgaria cheese, arrange the sliced mushroom, crumble the blue cheese, sprinkle with the parmesan. Then cut the cherry tomatoes in 1/2 and place on top, and finally finish with the smoked gouda.  Place the sandwiches in the grill. The important thing here is the bake on low temperature, so all cheese melts well. While waiting on the sandwiches to grill, cut one avocado length and arrange in a plate. When the sandwiches are grilled well ( I personally like them more toasty) -- simply enjoy! :)

PS sorry about the picture -- it just wouldn't get positioned right so finally I just stopped fighting with it.

Tuna + Salmon Sandwich

I am trying to follow Lokuma's example and clean out my pantry. I had a 2 cans of tuna and salmon. So this is what I came up with:

* 1 can tuna
* 1 can salmon
* 1/2 parnsnip (had some left over and decided to throw it in as well, it added nice texture)
* 2 carrots
* 2 green onions
* 1/3 cup of fennel greens
* 2 tbl s. mayo
* 1 tbl s. watsaby mayo
* 1/2 tbl s. dijon mustard with the seeds
* 5-7 maccademian nuts (I usually would use walnuts but only had the maccademian nuts -- turns out   
    they worked just fine)
* juice from 1/2 lemon
* salt and pepper to taste

Chop all veggies. I like them not too finely chopped as I preffer the texture better that way. Add in a mixing bowl the chopped veggies, the tuna and the remaining ingredients. Stir well. Enjoy on a toasted bread. For some extra added fanciness (and calories), you can spread the salad over bread, place a thin slice of dubliner or parmesan cheese and place in the grill oven for 10 min on 375F. Yum!!!! I had this for lunch today and took a picture but my camera got left at work. So I will add the picture at a later time. :)
