Delicious Super Sandwiches

Recipe: The SL BLT

Punch up store-bought mayonnaise with these flavor-boosting ideas: For extra tang and heat, zest a small lemon and grind lots of black pepper into the mayo. For a hint of green, chop a small handful of tender herbs—parsley, basil, tarragon, dill—and fold them into the mayo. 

Recipe: Chicken and Fontina Panini

Crusty on the outside, gooey on the inside, this sandwich requires little effort and makes a satisfying lunch or light dinner. You can make hot sandwiches with two heavy cast-iron skillets—no panini press required. While you're cooking a sandwich in one skillet, heat the second one on a separate burner. Once hot, place the second skillet on top of the sandwich for 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat on the flip side, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes more.

"I've made this 3 times since the recipe appeared in June '08 issue. Everyone has raved over it and requested the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. It makes a huge batch. It is well worth the minimal effort involved to make it from scratch rather than buying from a store. Even my monthly luncheon group gave it straight 3's, the highest rating we give. We keep a batch in the refrigerator at work for those afternoons when we need a snack. We eat it on Ritz crackers."

"An easy recipe when preparing for guests. Prepare it in the morning and you're done! I've made this recipe twice now and it was a hit both times. I used the boneless pork loin, as they were on sale, and the sandwiches couldn't have been better. The first time I served the pork sandwiches with coleslaw and the second time my guests provided potluck salads and desserts. Very easy entertaining!"

"I've made this sandwich twice, and it is a huge hit in my house. but why eat it cold? I wrap it in foil and bake it on 350 degrees until the cheese melts. It's better than any deli sandwich."

"This recipe is simple to make ahead of time. What a great spread to have on hand for a sandwich bar! I didn't have horseradish sauce so I mixed straight horseradish with mayo - about 1/2 and 1/2 of each. Turned out delicious - not too hot but a hint of it. Yummy! Got lots of compliments too....."
