ELT SANDWICHES WITH BASIL MAYONNAISE



ELT Sandwiches With Basil Mayonnaise image

An ELT is like a BLT, but with one obvious caveat - it uses eggs instead of bacon. Of course, bacon is great when you're craving something hearty and it adds a nice crispy texture to sandwiches, but if you're a vegetarian or if you just hate dealing with a bacon-greased pan, eggs are a welcome substitute. The runny, creamy yolk gives the sandwich a rich, buttery appeal while the crisp lettuce and fresh tomato keep things on the lighter side. Lather the bread with homemade basil mayonnaise and you've got a meal fit for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

CLASSIC BLT SANDWICH



Classic BLT Sandwich image

This is a sandwich that I crave a lot. I am just posting it because I couldn't find it posted already on the Zaar...I couldn't believe that! My ex-DH wondered how I make these, so I decided to post it and send him the recipe. Nothing fancy -- just the real, simple, unabridged version. UPDATE: After reading Peg629's review, I have tried it that way, with one slice of toast spread with yellow mustard, and I must say it really, really makes an exceptional BLT! Such a subtle difference, yet genuinely makes a superior BLT, in my opinion! (Thank you Peg629 for that awesome suggestion!)

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb bacon (approx. 12 slices)
8 slices white bread
8 leaves iceberg lettuce, fresh and full
8 slices of ripened tomatoes
8 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
  • Toast the 8 slices of bread.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).
  • Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
  • Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
  • Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
  • Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
  • Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!

CLASSIC PATTY MELT



Classic Patty Melt image

A quick, easy, and basic recipe for patty melts. I used Jewish rye bread but any bread will work as long as it's rye. I double the cheese but feel free to use 1 slice per patty melt.

Provided by Yoly

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes     Beef

Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
6 teaspoons mayonnaise
6 slices rye bread
6 slices sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Season ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 3 equal-sized balls. Shape each ball as close as possible to the shape of the bread. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and divide into 3 equal portions. Place beef patties into the same skillet and cook until desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, spread 1 teaspoons mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place bread mayonnaise side-down in the skillet. Top with 1 slice of cheese, 1 beef patty, 1/3 of the onions, a second slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. Cook bread until golden brown and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each sandwich over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
