THE MUNROE MELT

I created this sandwich one weekend when I couldn't decide whether to have turkey, roast beef, or ham. This sandwich has all three! You can substitute Italian roast beef for the regular roast beef to take this sandwich to another level. Most supermarket delis carry the Italian, you just have to ask. Also, the order of the ingredients is important for all of the tastes to blend properly.

THE MUNROE MELT (SANDWICH)

The Munroe Melt (Sandwich) image

I found this recipe on a website called Choice Cooking Recipes. I have never found a prepared dijon-mayo blend, so I just use 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard and 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise, and blend the two conditments together with a knife. Most in my family like this sandwich with a few thin slices of red onion added, but that's our own addition (it's not a part of the original recipe), so I've listed that as an optional ingredient.

Ingredients

1 crusty sandwich roll, split
1 tablespoon dijon mustard-mayonnaise blend
2 slices deli turkey
1 slice swiss cheese
2 slices deli ham
1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
2 slices deli roast beef
2 slices tomatoes
2 slices red onions (optional)
1 slice muenster cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Open the sandwich roll onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mustard-mayonnaise blend on one half of the roll.

Top with turkey, Swiss cheese, and ham (in that order) on top of the mustard-mayo mixture.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the other half of the roll. Top with the roast beef, tomato slices, onion slices (if using), and Muenster cheese.
Broil the sandwich open-faced until the cheese melts and begins to bubble and the ham begins to crisp around the edges.
Remove the sandwich from the oven and put both sides together. Serve while sandwich is still warm.

Tips:

For the ultimate melt, use a combination of sharp cheddar, provolone, and Swiss cheese.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of bread before assembling the sandwich.
Cook the sandwich in a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Serve the sandwich immediately, garnished with additional Thousand Island dressing and a pickle spear.
For a vegetarian version of the melt, omit the ham and add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.

Conclusion:

The Munroe Melt is a classic comfort food sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
