Hot Chicken Salad Sandwich

What is it about sandwiches that make so many people so happy? It seems to me that the very same food served on a plate often gets less positive response than it does in a bun, on a roll, or even on a loaf of bread, as it was last night at the convent.Chicken salad was on the menu for our dinner and the cook of the day chose to serve it as a hot open faced sandwich, which surprised everyone. She sliced loaves of Italian bread lengthwise, placed a layer of chicken salad on each, topped them with grated cheese and melted them under the broiler for a few minutes. When they came out they were met with exclamations of “WOW, FANTASTIC, WHAT FUN!”

Because the meal was an informal picnic type, the loaf was served whole, allowing each person to decide what size piece they wanted cut for them. For a more refined touch it can be sliced in diagonal pieces and plated, and still be a sandwich!

Not-grilled Cheese Sandwiches

We are with out a doubt, heading into soup and sandwich weather, and one of the most popular lunches at the convent is the perennial old favorite – Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. However, a number of Sisters try to avoid fried or grilled foods, so I wanted to come up with a less fat version of this favorite and I must say I and many others were and still are very pleased with the result.
