Roasted Broccoli Soup and Grilled Sandwiches -- back to top
Meredith and I made roasted broccoli soup and grilled sandwiches for dinner
We followed the basic recipe for our Roasted Broccoli Soup. We went with the general idea and adjusted to taste (It needed more salt so I used some soy sauce for salt+glutamates). We did it in the immersion blender it batches which made it super smooth. Like, more smooth than I've ever had it!
We used a Parmesan Gouda for the cheese and while I think I used around the amount in the recipe, it was almost too creamy and thick (though we probably should have just added water)1. Overall, it was ok. Not the best showing of this recipe but not bad either
Meredith and I each made our own sandwiches but I used a very special technique to grill them: let Meredith do it! (I tend to go too hot and burn it). She grilled them with butter (but tried not to use an excessive amount)
I made a one and a half reubens. Pretty standard. I used Boars Head Corned beef (~1/4 lbs total for all) and a lite swiss. It was not lite Jarlsberg though I would have preferred that.
Also, since the supermarket didn't have any good Thousand Island Dressing options (full fat or some strange zero calorie), I made this one halved with the following changes
My sandwiches were ok. The dressing is not dead and was a bit strange but the flavors were all there. Also, the insides were not as warm as I would have liked
Meredith made a strange kind of grilled cheese. I say strange because seeded rye is not usually the first choice bread. But anyway, she used brie (of sorts), sliced (extra ripe) pear and Tabasco Hot Chile Jam. I think she liked it.
Though it could also be the blender ↩
Turkey Monte Cristo Sandwiches -- back to top
We used the leftover turkey from the other night to make Monte-Cristos.
We based it on this recipe (no local link since it really wasn't much). Essentially, we made a turkey sandwich with some fancy mustard and leftover cranberry sauce, dipped it in egg, and grilled it. We let the first one bake a bit in the oven while the other was being grilled, then baked them both in the oven for a bit to try to cook more of the egg
They got a bit too soggy; especially the first one but the flavors were good. I think it is something I would try again, but I would try to use less egg and maybe read some tips on how to do it.
