Add pastrami and simmer for 3 minutes.Grill onions on both sides and toast bread on a cooler part of the grill. When all ingredients are heated, prepare sandwich.

Answer 2

My absolute favorite sandwich that I love to make is a take on the california club, without the bacon.

The order of the ingredients is Key:

Flaky crossiant
Mayo (or margarine for a low cal alternative)
Mozzarella cheese (Part skim milk for low cal)
Alfafa Sprouts (but zesty sprouts work great too)
Avocado
Pepper Roasted Turkey
Dijon mustard (or regular yellow mustard works good too)
Flaky crossiant

This is a very simple yet tasty sandwich. Something that is really healthy and very easy to make.

If you want a bread alternative you can use sprouted wheat bread which is what I use when I make it.

Bon apetit

Answer 4

I make grilled chicken sandwhiches. I start by roasting a red bell pepper on the grill till it's skin is charred and i can peel and cut it (instant roasted peppers) Then I take some chicken thin cut fillets and spice and put them on the grill. While the cook up I layer on some french bread some fresh mozzeralla cheese, then the chicken and the peppers. I then wrap it in foil, pop it on the grill and let the cheese get all melty and yummy. Serve it with some sweet potato fries or tots and your good to go.

I then layer some good lean cooked applewood-smoked bacon and a thick layer of swiss cheese.
