This month the Creative Cooking Crew is at it again, this time working their magic on the BLT sandwich! Our challenge: create a new sandwich around ingredients that start with the letters BLT but are not bacon, lettuce and tomato.
B- blueberries (in the form of a savory blueberry jam with balsamic vinegar and rosemary)
L- leeks (sauteed in a little butter and lightly seasoned with salt and freshly ground pepper)
T- Tuscano (Tallegio or Triple Cream Brie were other top contenders)
The sweetness from the blueberry jam and sauteed Leeks were nicely balanced by some sharp notes from Tuscano cheese. This was one delicious sandwich!
Thanks again to Laz and Joan for hosting and be sure to check out the roundup on Lazaro Cooks next week!
Bravo. I love the fruit with leeks and the Toscano Cheese. This was a hard challenge. I thought I would see a lot of entries I would never really eat. I would eat this.
ReplyDeleteI love sweet and savory grilled cheese sandwiches like this! That jam sounds out of this world.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've been thinking of you and all my friends in Boston. Sending you hugs and good thoughts.
I saw you posted - I came - I read - I left and then I couldnt get the sandwich out of my mind - this sounds like the perfect picnic lunch!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great take on the jam + grilled cheese sandwiches that I love!
ReplyDeleteWorks for me! :) I'm with Christo, sounds like a good lunch!
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! I'm glad to see you on board with this really great BLT. A grilled cheese was the perfect twist here. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love a good, innovative grilled cheese sandwich, and I practically live off blueberries. This is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteLove this! So creative!
ReplyDeleteI've done an apple and leek grilled cheese before but I"m loving the blueberries since they are so much juicier than apples! A great sandwich.
ReplyDeleteGreat combo and great idea! Did you make the jam too? I love the idea of blueberry and rosemary, this is a great sammie, Shannon.
ReplyDeleteThis is great and refreshing. I am dying to try this.
ReplyDeleteCreative lady! This screams spring to me!!
ReplyDeleteGreat BLT combo, hat blueberry jam sounds AMAZING. Never heard of Tuscano but will keep an eye out for it now.
ReplyDeleteI would totally eat that!!
ReplyDeleteI just love grilled cheese. It's a spectacular idea with that melted tallegio and the blueberry with balsamic is perfect. One of my favorite grill marinades for chicken has blueberry and balsamic and I love the combo. You did BLT proud
ReplyDeleteLaura- yup, made the jam last summer (recipe is linked above)!
ReplyDeletelove that savory blueberry jam! such a creative take on the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteOh double yum to that savory blueberry jam!!! Awesome
