Meat And Cheese Sandwich With Spinach

This is a delicious and healthy sandwich. I use baby spinach for best results.

Ingredients:

Any meat you have in the fridge: ham, roast beef, etc

Any cheese you have in the fridge

Baby spinach leaves

Red onion

Simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper

Tomato

Any kind of bun you like. It is best if fresh from the oven.

Butter or mayonnaise

Cut open the bun.

Spread butter or mayonnaise on both sides.

Line several slices of meat and cheese. Then some tomatoes and spinach salad. Top with the other side of the bun and enjoy.

Spinach Salad:

Rinse the spinach leaves. Slice the red onion and halve the slices. Mix spinach and red onion. Add vinaigrette and mix well. Let it rest for 15 minutes and it is ready.

Baked Caramel Custard Also Known as Flan

This is a very dainty dessert.

Ingredients:

3 cups milk

5 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

½ cup sugar plus another ½ cup for the caramel

Put ½ cup sugar into a small saucepan and stir it over medium low heat until it is melted and golden brown. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the caramel, stir thoroughly, and pour it into a cake mold. Let the caramel run all round the sides of the mold.

Mix the eggs, milk, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar in the blender or with a whisk.

Pour the custard into the mold and bake it in a moderate oven standing in a larger tin with about 1 inch of boiling water, until the custard is set.

Let it cool for at least 3 hours.

Loosen the edge with a spatula, slip the spatula down the sides to let air in. Turn the flan out on a plate, and serve.

Enjoy!

Mmmmm.... Cheddar Stuffed Burger

Melting the cheese inside the burger makes the burger much better than melting the cheese on top.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

4 ounces Cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper

4 burger buns

Tomato

Lettuce

Onion

Mayonnaise

Mustard

Ketchup

Season the meat with salt and pepper. Form 4 balls with the meat. Insert a piece of 1 ounce of cheese. Form the patties enclosing the cheese.

Cook the patties as usual, on the fry pan or on the grill. Your choice.

Assemble the burgers the way you like. I like it with mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomato and onion and served with french fries or potato salad.

Enjoy!
