Swiss, Spinach, Ham Brioche Lunch

This is a GREAT lunch idea! Baby spinach makes it.

 

  • 16 slices of Brioche
  • 1 tbsp. mustard
  • 16 slices of swiss cheese
  • 8 thin slices of black forest ham
  • 3 oz. fresh baby spinach leaves
  • melted butter for brushing

Spread 8 of the brioche slices with mustard. Next put the ham, cheese and spinach leaves. Top with remaining brioche slices.

Brush both sides of the sandwiches with the melted butter. Using a panni pan or frypan, toast each side until a beautiful golden brown.

If not going to work or driving, a glass of chilled wine is delightful. This would make a great weekend luncheon. Enjoy!

Another Stuffed French Toast

I love French Toast and this is just another way to make it up. It looks good and tastes great.

  • 1 loaf brioche bread
  • 8 oz. ricotta cheese (beaten until smooth)
  •  1 tp. vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon flavouring
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • pinch of ground cinamon
  • Icing sugar

Slice the loaf into 10 slices. Mix together the ricotto cheese and vanilla and spread over five slices and cover with the remaining five.

Beat together the remaining ingredients and dip the sandwiches into the mixture.  Grill slowly in frypan until golden.  Remove from pan and plate each sandwich.  Dust with icing sugar and add a couple pieces of fruit on the side.

Serve with warm pure maple syrup.  Yummy!
