Aussies love a good 'old' fashioned sandwich. There aren't too many memories of growing up as a child that don't include a sandwich. School lunches, picnics, weekend football and afternoon tea's. From a throw together BLT to the more sophisticated cucumber sandwiches we see offered at the popular High tea. A sandwich can be eaten by all walks of life and is definitely not fussy about being branded a 'commoner'!A favourite in our little home for a Sunday lunch, a day out at the motorbikes or a lazy dinner is the BLT.
Traditionally BLT's you buy are heavily laden with stodgy and thick strips of bacon that are dripping with fat. This re-vamped version of a BLT, featuring shaved prosciutto is our preferred choice. Once you try you will never go back!
BLT's at home
makes 4 sandwiches / serves two in our home they are so good!
ingredients
8 slices of fresh soft brown or white bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
50g rocket, washed, dried
8-10 slices of prosciutto, grilled until crisp
2 tomatoes, diced
4 pickled gherkins, thinly shaved with a vegetable peeler
8 shaved slices of cheese, such as Gouda, Swiss or Jarlsberg
assemble your BLT
Lay pieces of bread side by side onto a large chopping board. Spread mayonnaise onto each piece of bread.
To four pieces of bread add a lavish amount of rocket and then top with, prosciutto, tomatoes, gherkin and finish with the cheese and remaining piece of bread.
Slice and serve!
