Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries





One of those long and sleepless nights for me last night. I was fighting with a real case of the
Phantom Pains throughout the night. Had a Poached Egg on a toasted slice of Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Bread. Started a load of laundry for Mom and I'm done for the day. The Phantom Pains continued till almost Noon. Caught up some sleep and relaxed for most of the Afternoon.   For  Dinner tonight its Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries.






To prepare the Sandwich I’ll need; Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss

Cheese, French’s Yellow Mustard, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Kroger Bakery Sour Dough Bread. I used the flat top Griddle to grill it with. I sprayed the griddle with a very light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Butter on it. Heated it on medium heat. I also turned the oven on at 425 degrees, for the Fries.









While the griddle was heating I prepared the Sandwich. Took a slice of the Sour Dough Bread and topped it with some of the Kraft Mayo, the Boar’s Head Ham, the Sargento Swiss, French’s Mustard, and added the top slice of the Sour Dough Bread. I then Buttered the bottom and top halves of the Bread with Blue Bonnet Butter. With the griddle heated I grilled my Sandwich. Grilled the bottom half just over 3 minutes, then flipped it over and grilled the other side about 2 1/2 minutes. Until both sides were golden brown! What a Sandwich, Sour Dough Bread just makes everything that much better!





I had already preheated the oven, so as the griddle was heating I baked my Fries, I’m using Alexia

Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert later a Weight watcher’s Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.









Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Boneless Smoked Ham
With natural juices.

Enjoy the exceptional flavor of a traditional bone-in ham without the bone. Available in the Deli retail case as a center of the plate item or at the Service Deli sliced by the pound for a sandwich of note.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Grilling Fish and Seafood........


* Start with clean grill grates. Use tongs to rub the grate with a cloth or paper towel coated with vegetable oil. For firm fleshed fish like salmon, halibut, and tuna steaks: brush the fish with vegetable oil and season with salt. Most fish can grill directly on the grate, at high heat.

* Keep the skin on; it will help prevent your fish from falling apart.

* To grill shellfish in the shell, such as oysters, mussels and clams, place them directly on the hottest part of the grill. They're done when the shell opens. Discard those that don't open after about 5 minutes.

* Turn fish only once. Flipping back and forth will break fish apart.
