Favorite Hot Sandwiches

by: Helena Gray

I get tired of boring old sandwiches pretty easily, but I have really grown to like hot sandwiches.  Here are a few that are a big hit in my family.

Breakfast: Omelet Sandwich

2 eggs

Grated cheese

Fresh diced tomato

Chopped green onion

Kaiser or Sourdough roll

Mayo

Salsa

Cut roll in half and lightly butter each half.  Grill in skillet until golden.

 Beat eggs and pour into small hot, buttered skillet.  When eggs are firm on the bottom, but still liquid on the top, add cheese, tomato, and onion.  Fold in half and continue cooking.  Turn to cook the other side a little more then place on bottom bun.  Spread a thin layer of mayo on the top bun and pour a small amount of salsa on the omelet.  Enjoy!
 

Lunch:  Hot Salami Sandwich

French Roll or mini baguette

2-3 slices salami

Fresh sliced tomato

1-2 slices cheese (Swiss, muenster, or provolone)

Bake baguette in oven on 350 for 5 minutes or until hot.  Slice baguette nearly in half and lay out cheese first so it starts melting on bread.  Top with salami and then tomato.  Salt and pepper tomato to taste.  Put open sandwich back in oven and bake until cheese is completely melted and tomatoes and salami are hot.  No need to add mayo, this sandwich is already perfect!

Dinner Sandwiches

Easy Philly Cheesesteak sandwich

For each sandwich:

¼ lb deli-sliced roast beef

1-2 slices provolone

Sliced onion

Sliced Bell Pepper

Sliced Tomato

French roll or mini baguette

Cut roast beef into small pieces and put in a skillet with a very small amount of water.  Add onion and bell pepper.  Cook until hot and water evaporates completely.  Place cheese on top and cover while preparing bread.  Slice baguette nearly in half lengthwise spread on mayo if desired. Uncover meat and scoop into bread with a spatula. Top with sliced tomato. Cut in half and serve immediately.
