I’m going to be honest with you: I named this sandwich before I’d even finalized the ingredient list. As soon as I thought of feta and bacon together, I knew it needed to be FAB so apple joined the party 🙂 Thank goodness it did, because this sandwich is all that and a half when you put it all together!
We start with a solidly delicious base of sourdough bread, then add creamy and perfectly herby mayonnaise to brighten up the sandwich. Next comes the saltiness of bacon and feta, then we cut through it with crisp, fresh apple and spinach so your palette isn’t overwhelmed. All the ingredients play together nicely: the complimentary creaminesses of feta and mayo, the clear and light flavors of the herbs and apple.
This sandwich can be easily translated into a cold sandwich or salad without toasting, but the heat does do magic for this dish. The herbaceous mayo melts into the bread and bacon as they crisp and the feta releases an extra punch of creaminess. This is a great picnic or lazy Saturday sandwich!
Pre-heat oven to 350◦ F.
Spread garlic-herb mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread, set one aside and place the other on a baking sheet.
On set aside piece of bread, add spinach and thinly sliced apple.
Add bacon and feta to your own specifications on the baking sheet bread.
Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until feta is slightly melty and bacon is crisper.
Construct your sandwich and enjoy!
I went into making last night’s dinner with wraps as the plan; delicious wraps filled with melty cheese, toasty pepperoni and lean, filling deli turkey. I hit a wall when I realized the tortillas I’d gotten on sale (score!) were way too tiny to fold, bummer! Bill and I were in a hurry so he could make it up to school for Parent-Teacher conferences, so I needed to make do with what I had. Thus, the Turkey Pizzadilla was born!
The hybrid of pizza, sandwich and quesadilla, Turkey Pizzadillas are a quick and simple dinner that kids especially will love! Simply heat a grill pan or griddle to medium, slap down a tortilla, top with your pizza sauce, thin-sliced turkey, cheese and toppings of choice, slap another tortilla on top and voila: Turkey Pizzadilla!
We used teeny-tiny pepperoni and mozzarella on ours last night, but you could also use an Italian mix cheese, Canadian bacon, or whatever pizzalicious toppings your heart desires.
It is safe to say that my husband is a pizza addict: he can easily blow through 3 frozen pizzas a week if I don’t try to get some other nutrition into him, so he loved these fluffy little Pepperoni Pizza Puffs, handily finishing off the whole tray! I feel a little better about this dish originally from Lick the Bowl Good since it’s fresh and almost as quick as a frozen pizza. A simple batter of flour, baking powder, egg and milk puffs up beautifully, full of cheese and pepperoni, ready for you to pop in and enjoy.
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Whisk in milk and egg until well-combined. Add the mozzarella, parmesan and mini pepperoni and mix until evenly distributed. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Give the batter one more good stir and distribute into the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffy and golden, 22-25 minutes.
Heat pizza sauce and serve along with puffs.
These would be great as an appetizer or as finger food for a big game! They have a smooth, fluffy texture without being weighted down by too much cheese. Since the sauce is on the side, the puffs aren’t soggy or messy. You could also add different pizza toppings to customize these little guys to your family’s taste!
