Quick lunch...


Didn't get enough photos of my lunch today before I snarfed it up, but I wanted to write it down so I don't forget to make it again!

Everything is approximate estimations because I almost never measure ingredients...

Ingredients:

1 tsp Prepared Horseradish

1tsp Olive Oil Mayo

1tps Mustard

4 slices thin-cut black forest sandwich ham

2 slices good bread (I had sourdough that needed to be used up)

5-6 slices portabella mushroom

2 leaves romaine lettuce

1/8 cup shredded mozzarella (or whatever cheese you have around)

2 tbsp salted butter separated

Directions:

1. cook mushroom slices in about a tbsp of butter over medium heat until browned and cooked through but not mushy, remove from pan and set aside.

2. in the same pan brown your ham slices, it'll take about a minute. Remove and set aside

3. mix together horseradish and mayo in a bowl. Spread mixture on one slice of bread.

4. On another slice of bread spread the mustard

5. stack the ham, mushrooms and cheese on the bread, mustard and horseradish sides inside. Butter the outside of the bread. Toast the sandwich over medium heat until bread it browned and cheese is melted.

6. Remove sandwich, add lettuce, slice in half and enjoy!

The mixture of mushrooms, ham & horseradish was amazing. The lettuce added a much needed cool crunch and the mustard added a vinegary flavor that helped to pull it all together. All in all the sandwich took maybe ten minutes to make and was absolutely worth the effort.
