The first sammich.

So us two ladies went downstairs looking for some food. We were going to make a boring sammich, but decided against it. This, my pretties, was the outcome.

*note of badassery: you can make all of this in 1 pan!

Serves: you and whoever asked you to make a sammich (2)
4 slices of bread, white or sourdough
1 plum tomato (optional)
6 white mushrooms
1/4 red onion
1/4 white onion
2 cloves garlic
2 strips bacon
Sharp white cheddar
Deli chicken
Butter or margarine

How you make this awesome sammich:
1. Cut yo sh!t up. Thinly slice onions, so that they are delicious, fryable, strips of onion-y goodness. Same with your mushrooms, not paper thin, about 1/2 a centimeter (oh, canada). Cut your strips of bacon in half. Cut the cheese (heheh) into enough slices to cover 2 slices of bread. Mince your garlic. Cut your deli chicken into strips or 8ths. Cover 1 side of each piece of bread in butter.


2. Turn your oven to medium heat. Cook your bacon strips, that have previously been cut in half, until they are just about to get crispy... but don't make them crispy! Drain the fat, put the bacon on a plate to the side.

3. Add about a tsp of butter to your pan (butter yo sh!t (my drunk kitchen reference)), let it melt, and then toss all 'dem onions in. Let them fry for a little bit, so that they're limp but not quite yet floppy (heheheh...).

4. Add your mushrooms and garlic in NOW! Saute them, yum yum! Make them all pretty and caramelized and brown. You can add a pinch of salt in this step, if you want, but the bacon should cover the salt factor. Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms to the same plate as the bacon.

5. Alright, here's the grilled cheese step, let's hope you know how to make grilled cheese. 2 pieces of bread, butter side down, evenly divide cheese slices between the two, cover with other 2 bread slices, butter side up. Flip when golden on one side, and cheese is half melted. Once cheese is melted and other side is golden, take them off the pan and put them on separate plates. Turn stove off.

6. While the sammiches cool down to touching temperature, quickly heat up the tomatoes and deli sliced chicken in the pan, just using the heat from the previous cooking. Take it out after a few seconds, put it on the plate with the mushrooms, onions, garlic and bacon. (I bet at this point you're getting hungry..)

7. Split your grilled cheeses open and layer the tomatoes, onion/mushroom/garlic mix, bacon, and chicken. Close up your sammich before it gets cold.

8. EAT! :3
