DELI MELT BITES



Deli Melt Bites image

I saw some similar recipes on Kraft.com recipes that I drew ideas from and have been using it in a variety of ways since then. I love how flexible this can be, based on your preferences and what you have in your fridge. I am going to use our favorite way first in the ingredients, but definitely feel free to sub your favorite meats and cheeses - we do that all the time! Also - I usually use the long, oval-shaped slices of meat that I get from my local deli, but I know that they also sell small circular slices in the deli section, so if you get those, you may need a couple more slices to have enough meat.

Time 23m

Yield 24 bites

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 sturdy round crackers, i.e. Ritz
6 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese (cheddar, garlic and herb, swiss, or provolone are also delicious)
4 slices deli turkey or 4 slices salami, are great too
3 small plum tomatoes, cut into 8 thin slices each
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce or 2 tablespoons hot sauce
olives (see final step) (optional) or chopped onion (see final step) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Slice cheese into 24 slices to fit on the crackers.
  • Slice each piece of meat into six pieces and place on top of cheese and cracker.
  • Add a piece of tomato to each cracker stack.
  • Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with 1/4 t of your preferred condiment.
  • Optionally, end with a little topping of your favorite sandwich add-on like pickles, olives, or chopped onion, on top of the condiment.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or rye, will hold up well to the melted cheese and other sandwich fillings.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful sandwich. A combination of sharp cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses, such as Gouda, Gruyère, or Swiss.
  • Don't be afraid to add other fillings to your sandwich. Sliced deli meats, vegetables, and spreads can all help to create a delicious and satisfying meal.
  • If you're using a panini press, preheat the press according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to ensure that your sandwich is cooked evenly.
  • Keep an eye on your sandwich while it's cooking. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, but the bread should not be burned.

Conclusion:

Tangy deli melts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of breads, cheeses, and fillings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating a sandwich that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give a tangy deli melt a try!
