The Unconventional Sandwich: Corn Muffin Sandwiches

The Unconventional Sandwich
sand·wich noun
1 a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between
    b : one slice of bread covered with food

sandwich verb
: to make into or as if into a sandwich; especially : to insert or enclose between usually two things of another quality or character

Ahh…the Sandwich.  Although they existed long before they were called sandwiches, John Montague, the fourth earl of Sandwich, is credited with naming the tasty invention. Montague, a heavy card player, held his cards in one hand and cheese and meat between slices of bread in the other (This is still a sandwich purpose in my house today!).  Montague’s fellow players started asking for Sandwich’s …and the rest is sandwich history!
The Unconventional Sandwich posts explore a variety of sandwich condiments and toppings, twists on old favorites, and traditional sandwiches with our own unique flare.  From breakfast to dessert, there isn’t anything we can’t try to sandwich.
The Corn Muffin Ham & Cheese
Is there anything I love more than cornbread? Not really.  This is a handy recipe to use up the stuff in your fridge and it's budget friendly because Jiffy corn muffin mix is super cheap and the rest of the ingredients can be anything you already have.   This is what I already had:



Corn Muffin Sandwiches:
1/4 cup mayo
2 Tbsp. Bacos
2 Tbsp. Dill weed
2 Tbsp. Dried Parsley
1 Box Jiffy Mix (prepared according to package directions)
Ham (I had Blackforest Ham)
Cheese (I had Kraft singles, but I usually prefer cheddar or colby jack)
Crisp Veggie (I had cucumbers)

First, prepare your corn muffins using the instructions on the Jiffy Box. They should come out like so:


Next, prepare your condiment.  Combine the first 4 ingredients listed above (mayo, bacos, dill, and parsley) in a small bowl.


Slice each corn muffin in half and set tops aside. Begin to assemble your sandwiches by spreading one half of the corn muffin with your condiment.

Next, layer your meat.
 

And then add your cheese and veggie of choice.



Replace the tops on your corn muffice sandwiches and Enjoy!
