dilly's deli sandwich

This sandwich is inspired by Dilly's Deli.  Their sandwiches and soups are heavenly.  I usually serve this with my potato soup.  One missionary told me it was the best meal he had on his entire mission!  Ya hoo!  Talk about a compliment!

good quality wheat bread
ham, shaved
turkey, shaved
provolone cheese slices
muenster cheese slices
bacon, cooked and drained
lettuce, red or green leaf
tomato
avocado
cream cheese
butter
salt
pepper

Butter the outsides of the bread.  Lightly spread cream cheese on the insides of the bread.  Build one side of the sandwich with provolone ham, bacon, and lettuce.  Build the other side with muenster, turkey, tomato, avocado, salt and pepper.  Carefully press together and place on warm griddle.  Cook on a lower temperature until both sides are browned and cheese is melted, turn carefully.  The lettuce should slightly wilt and the sandwich should be warm all the way through.

grilled cheese sandwhich

Ben made this up.  Props to him!  He fed it to me when Evelyn was a week or two old.  We were at his parents and I was hungry, so he made this up.  It was so yummy that I asked for another.  Now when Ben wants brownie points, he will make me one of these grilled cheese sandwiches!

good quality wheat bread
medium cheddar cheese
cream cheese
onion*
butter

Slice and saute the onions in butter.  Cook until the onions are caramelized and brown.  Butter the outsides of the bread.  Spread cream cheese on the insides of the bread.  Add a slices of the cheddar cheese to each side of the bread.  On one side add caramelized onions.  Put the side with the onions on a warm skillet.  Top with the other side of bread and cheeses.  Brown on both sides until the cheese is melted.  This is great with some dressed up tomato soup or on it's own.

*You can substitute shallots for the onion for a twist.
