Describe the perfect sandwich. You have up to $5,000 to spend. Be creative
I won’t get into the whole “What is perfect?” question. And I couldn’t even imagine taking $5,000 and using it on a sandwich. It’s just ridiculous. And I’m not that fancy.
Now on the subject of divine tasting things. The first thing that came to mind is a grilled cheese sandwich. Well, my favorite version of grilled cheese.
Just take your basic bread aisle Italian loaf bread:
Kraft white American cheese singles:
Bacon (pre-cooked & crispy, of course):
And pesto:
- Cook bacon ’til crispy. Drain
- Spread pesto on 2 slices of bread
- Top each piece of bread with 2 cheese slices
- Top one piece of bread with the super duper crispy bacon
- Hump the other piece of bread on top
- Spread top of bread with Smart Balance Buttery Spread (or butter or Miracle Whip – I know it sounds gross and potentially lethal, but trust me it adds a nice little tang)
- Slap the buttered side down on a preheated grill or pan. Spread the top side with pan lubricant of choice (miracle whip, etc). Press down w/ spatula until bread is browned and cheese is melty.
- Gingerly flip the masterpiece over for 2nd side browning. Press down. Be patient.
- When other side is browned to your liking (or you can’t contain your cheese lust any longer) plate that sucker.
WARNING: Do not just dive in. There’s hot gooey cheese in there. That’s major taste bud damage looming. Wait a bit, slice it. Revel in the fragrance.
Then scarf that baby down!
