Denver Sandwich Thick And Hearty Recipes

Steps:

• Generously butter both sides of each slice of bread.
• Cook the bread on a griddle over medium heat until lightly brown and crisp on both sides, about 8 minutes.
• Keep the bread warm.
• Briefly whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper and 2 tablespoons water.
• Add splashes of hot sauce if desired.
• Whisk just enough to combine the yolks and whites barely.
• Warm a 7- to 8-inch omelet pan or skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat.
• Scatter half of the bacon in the pan and cook until brown and crisp.
• Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain it.
• Add half of the butter to the pan, swirling it to coat the entire surface thoroughly.
• Stir in half the onion and bell pepper, and saute until softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to high.
• Add half of the egg mixture and swirl it to coat the entire pan.
• Let the pan sit directly over the heat a few seconds, until the eggs firm in teh bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the eggs.
• Tilt the pan so the uncooked egg can flow to the bottom of the pan.
• The eggs should cook just a touch longer than a traditional omelet, remaining moist but not wet at the center.
• Pull the pan sharply toward you several times, and then tilt the pan so that the back half of the omelet begins to roll over the front portion.
• Use a spatula to help fold over the eggs evenly.
• The omelet should be golden outside.
• Tip the omelet out onto one of the grilled bread slices, shaping it with the spatula, if needed.
• Top with the other slice of grilled bread; halve if you wish, and serve the first sandwich.
• Wipe out the skillet and immediately repeat the process with the remaining bread and filling ingredients.

Steps:

• With a whisk, beat the eggs, milk and melted margarine.
• Add the ham and green onions, stirring until blended.
• In a heavy frying pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of margarine.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan, continuously stirring while pouring.
• Cover the egg mixture and cook over med-high heat, for about 3-5 minutes. then remove the cover.
• Run a spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the eggs.
• If there is still a lot of uncooked egg on top, poke through, allowing the egg to run to the bottom of the pan.
• When semi-set, cut the egg into quarters and flip each piece over.
• Continue cooking until set.
• If desired, top with cheese slices.
• Remove from heat, cover.
• Toast the bread, butter and make 2 hearty sandwiches.

Steps:

• For the katsu: Pound the pork loins out with a meat mallet or rolling pin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch-thick and roughly the size of a piece of sandwich bread. Salt and pepper both sides.
• Set up a breading station: Place the flour and some salt in one shallow dish, eggs with a dash of water and a pinch of salt in the second dish and panko in the third dish. Working with one piece of pork at a time, coat the pork in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip in the egg and drain the excess, then dredge in the panko. (Make sure the panko coats all sides.) Transfer to a plate.
• Season the mayo: Whisk together the mayo, vinegar, gochujang, sugar and wasabi in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
• Fry: In a 12-inch skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat to 325 degrees F. Place the pork in the oil in batches and fry, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
• Assemble: Spread the mayo on the bread. Place the pork on one piece of bread and top with another. Trim the edges to create a square, crustless sandwich. The meat should be fully exposed on the edges, so that you can see the interior. Cut the square in half on the bias. Repeat to make another. Serve the sandos with the salad.
• For the salad: Whisk together the oil, vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the endive, frisee and mustard greens in a large bowl and add the vinaigrette; toss.

Steps:

• Combine the ground beef and onion in a cold skillet, place the skillet onto a stove burner, and turn the heat to medium; cook and stir until the beef is crumbly and browned. Stir the garlic and bell pepper into the beef mixture; continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 more minutes. Add 1 cup of water. Mix in ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Pour in 1 more cup of water. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until the mixture becomes very thick, 30 to 45 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Season with cayenne.
