Croque Monsieur
The Croque Monsieur is a baked or grilled ham and cheese sandwich that is served in many French cafés and bistros. Traditionally made with Brioche-like bread, or with normal butter bread, but with a soft crust, slathered with bechamel sauce and topped with grated cheese. Croque Monsieur is translated as "crunch sir."

Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
The Turkey Devonshire Sandwich, sometimes simply called a Devonshire, originated in the 1930s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It is typically served as a hot open faced sandwich on toasted bread with hot turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a cheese sauce. It was created by Frank Blandi (1907-1999), who first served them at The Stratford Club in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.

Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich
I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.
This is what is says on the menu:
garlic mushrooms and brie toasted and served open faced on baguette with fresh thyme and lemon zest

Tuna Melt
This Tuna Melt sandwich is tuna salad and a layer of cheese done under the broiler. It is said that the Tuna Melt was born in 1965 on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina at the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Apparently, there was a bowl of tuna salad on the edge of the griddle shelf and the contents tipped over onto the grilled cheese sandwich being made at the time. I guess the tuna melt is a mistake.
A tuna melt sandwich is tuna salad and a layer of cheese, sometimes grated. The sandwich is then grilled or broiled open-faced until the cheese is melted. I wish I liked tuna, but I made this for my husband, Eric, who loves them. You can also add a slice of tomato, use any kind of bread and any kind of cheese. Our "house" cheese is Tillamook Cheddar.

Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches with Smoked Almonds
I catered a trunk show at a wonderful clothing store in San Marino, CA called Serafina. If you live in the area, you must stop by, their things are exquisite. I made tea sandwiches. These Chicken Salad sandwiches were a big hit.

Egg Salad with Dill & Chives
Egg Salad with Dill & Chives are a bit hit. There is nothing like a really good egg salad sandwich. I think adding some fresh dill takes it to the next level.

Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork
The Pioneer Woman makes this Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork, which looked really good. It reminded me of Coca Cola basted ham (I guess that's for another blog). I made it in a crockpot. Also, I put in about half of the chipotle chiles and it was very spicy, which I love. You can serve it with tortillas or rolls.

Sloppy Bombay Joes
A friend of mine told me about Aarti Sequeira's sloppy joe recipe. It's a sloppy joe with an Indian twist. I consider myself a sloppy joe expert, given that I have made them for hundreds of school children for almost 16 years. These are really delicious and different and actually a bit healthier using ground turkey. I served them with Broccoli Slaw. You've really to try these!
