Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula, Amish Egg Salad Sandwich, After-The-Game Pizza Sandwich

Hi everyone!

Here are the sandwiches for this week:


Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula
Amy - amylz
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

8 slices stone-milled rye artisan bread, about 1/2-inch thick
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup store-bought apple butter
1 pound sliced fresh roasted deli turkey
1/2 pound brie cheese, thickly sliced
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed

Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Now spread each with 1 tablespoon of the apple butter. Top each slice of bread with a couple of slices of turkey, cover that with 2 to 3 slices of brie (enough to cover the turkey), and finally, arrange 2 to 3 arugula leaves on top. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and lay them, buttered sides down, over the cheese; press gently. Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add as many sandwiches as will comfortably fit (either 2 or 4) and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes to brown the bread. (Add another tablespoon of butter and cook the remaining sandwiches, if you need to.) Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and olives and coarsely mix. Using a tablespoon, spread egg salad mixture over bottom slice of bread. Then add the tomatoes and lettuce. Place the top half on the sandwich. Slice in half and serve.

Amish Egg Salad - This was good. Basically it's a very traditional egg salad with the addition of black olives. You really can't taste the olives in it so I'm not sure what the purpose really is but my 10 year old liked it.

Grilled Turkey, Brie and Apple Butter Sandwich - This was really good. I think I'll put Apple Butter on a savory sandwich again. I loved the sweet with the salty combination. Brie is one of my favorite foods on the planet so I knew I would like this!

After the Game Pizza Sandwich - These turned out great. It's basically french bread pizza but the toppings are under the cheese. I did hald of one with no cheese for my little one who won't eat any cheese at all. My husband and 10 year old will eat cheese on pizza for some reason. I don't try to figure it out. I did leave off the mushrooms and peppers and added olives. We had this after church and it was quick and easy.
