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

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!

The Donut-Ice Cream Sandwich

What you’ll need (sans picture, I apologize):

Chocolate Donuts, Ice cream (we used devil’s food donuts and peanut butter cup ice cream)

Donut Ice-Cream Sandwich

1 box large, chocolate flavored donuts

Some ice cream (firm, not softened)

(Now is the time to improvise. Mini donuts. Powdered. Your favorite flavor of ice cream…Go for it!)

First, freeze your base (at least six hours).  Get those donuts chilly!

After your donuts are frozen, remove from the freezer and cut each donut in half crosswise (equally). Warning--this is a delicate process. 

Remove your ice cream from the freezer. Scrape the ice cream with a butter knife.  Then, spread the ice cream on one half of the donut, keeping the center hole empty. 

Place the “top” of the donut on the ice cream, and place back in the package.  Keep one out to snack on, and save the rest for later ; )

Freeze your sandwiches at least one hour before serving.
