Jarlsberg Beef Melt Sandwich for two

Goodness that is a sandwich!

Toasting time 5 minutes

Preparation time 20 minutes

Serves 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

·                  Bread, fresh country style, machine or your favorite firm loaf

·                  Bread knife

·                  Mayonnaise,  Hellmanns, Best Food or Miracle Whip, your choice

·                  Beef, sliced H.E.B Nitrates, Nitrites free

·                  Mustard, stone ground, seedy, horseradish

·                  Swiss, Jarlsberg  Norwegan, sweet nutty cheese

·                  Convection or toaster oven and parchment lined baking tray

·                  Wire cheese slicer

·                  Spreader

·                  Spatula

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.               4 slices total, 2 per person

2.               1 tablespoon Mayonnaise, for each slice of bread, spread evenly

3.               1 teaspoon Mustard, for two slices

4.               2 slices of beef per slice of bread

5.               1 slice of Jarlsberg per slice of bread

Note: This will be toasted open faced and then assembled for two.

Cut even slices, use the flat of my knife blade to gauge the thickness I want. I love bread, but you don’t want too thin or overly thick.

Mustard, I love the seedy ones, stone ground, and horseradish ones. 

This were to thick to fold, if yours is thin, fold like an accordion as it will create a delightful thickness..moist and enjoyable.

This is a good way to try this type of cheese, if you haven’t already tried it before, as it goes very well with mustard and beef.

Toast setting, should be done as cheese is melted to your liking. 

Remove from oven and place together, one as the top and set on plates.

Slice to serve.

…mmmmm! Enjoy with your favorite beverage and a pickle on the side.

Perfect for during the week when you are tired and it registers over 100 degrees outside.

A bowl full of cherries, a nice ending to a light meal.

Key Lime Iced Wafers

Baking time 15 minutes

Preparation time 20 minutes

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees F

Serves 2-4 Cookie Monsters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

·                  Parchment paper lined cookie sheets

·                  One mixing bowl, large

·                  Pastry or icing brush

·                  Measuring spoons, cups

·                  Hand held mixer

·                  Large spoon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.               ½ cup Unsalted sweet butter

2.               1-1/3 Cup, pure cane granulated sugar

3.               3 eggs

4.               3 Tablespoons lime juice, may use lemon juice if desired

5.               2 cups all purpose flour

6.               ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Begin by starting your oven to preheat at 375 degrees.

Using large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. You want to use the mixer for beating these together very well till it resembles very course meal. If your butter is soft, it will be smooth with granulated sugar well mixed in.

Crack the eggs carefully into the bowl...

….and go ahead and mix well. 

It should start to get fluffy…

….and it will look like it has increased in volume…cause it has!

Now add the vanilla and ….

…..add the lime juice and mix well.

Ahh....this smells so wonderful! Like back to the islands!!

Add the flour and salt all together. Start your mixer slowly and increase the speed slowly after you know the flour won’t fly out of your bowl…if you don’t start slow, your gonna have a job cleaning up after cookies and who wants to do that when cookies are ready to eat out of the oven!

The batter should resemble pancake batter, thin.

Spoon carefully onto the parchement paper lined cookie sheet.

Place spaced apart as these will rise and spread as a wafer.

Place into preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and slide cookies and parchment paper directly onto your counter to cool.

Ice made with 1/2 cup powder sugar and 

mix with enough lime juice 

to make a thin icing 

and brush like a paint brush 

on top of the wafers.

Love 'em!!
