Mini celebrations are important, even for silly little things. I keep a stash of Dove peanut butter chocolates on hand to reward myself for, say, emptying the dishwasher. or having a good tip night at work. Today, after completing a successful phone interview (pick me! pick me!), mom surprised me with some fresh croissants from the bakery. As much as I love simple croissants with butter and or honey, I was in the mood for something a little more lunch-y. So I came up with this little creation:
Ok, so there isn’t anything revolutionary about this sandwich. But do you ever just bite into something simple and soft and buttery that makes you feel all melty? Well that’s what I’m channeling here.
You will need:
- 1-2 pieces bacon
- 3-4 slices turkey breast
- 1 slice swiss cheese
- a fresh croissant
- butter
The Method:
Cook 1-2 pieces bacon in a small skillet. Remove and set aside bacon when done and drain out excess grease from the skillet. Don’t wipe the skillet: use whatever grease is leftover after draining to cook the turkey. Keep the skillet on medium heat and add 2 slices of turkey. Add a piece of swiss and top it all off with another 1-2 slices turkey (swiss should be sandwiched in between turkey). Cook until turkey browns a little and cheese starts to get melty. Flip and cook the other side. In the meantime, slice and butter the croissant. Put the cheesy turkey pile in the croissant and top with bacon.
I think next time I’ll try this in the grill pan with a slice of tomato (grilled tomato?).
Other delicious creations consumed today (I’m in that kind of mood today):
- Two eggs over easy on wheat toast topped with goat cheese crumbles.
- Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and a little honey.
ZOMG, I love food.
I want one!
