We love Sandwiches and why not? A Sandwich could be an entire meal, ready to go anywhere - from lazy afternoon to picnics to poolside. From a quick weekend lunch to a daily routines, sandwiches are the easiest to make & take - the most portable meal there is..:)
The first sandwich was actually created by accident in 1762 - John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich was involved in a heated card game in which the stakes were high. So, he asked a servant to put some meat in between 2 slices of bread, so Montagu could eat his meal without getting his hands and cards dirty!.. thats one interesting anecdote for our Sandwich.. Isn't it!
I made these yummy Hash Brown Melt sandwiches yesterday and the very mention of these is mouth watery. This is the best entree for a casual meal - every bite to relish and a memory to cherish..:)
In a wok, heat butter, add garlic and onions. Saute until soft. Then add shredded potato, salt & pepper with cayenne pepper. Mix the contents gently and cook for 4-5 minutes. Keep aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 deg. In a baking sheet, place 2 pieces of bread smeared with mayo on each. Top these with the hash brown filling. then with slices of tomato and finally with a slice of american cheese.
Place cheese side up on the sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes (or) just until the cheese is melted.
Serve open toped as I did (or) top with the remaining pieces of bread.
Variation: You can add any kind of veggies like bell peppers to the hash brown filling and then top with cheese.
Thanks for the pointer. Have rectified him -- DK(admin)
