A Week of Sandwiches: Lobster Grilled Cheese

Because sandwiches are awesome, and we love to eat them, we have planned a week centered around sandwiches (or variations of them - wraps, etc.).  I used to think sandwiches were boring, but Christopher's love for them, and his crazy creations have made me realize how fun sandwiches can be!

We decided to start this sandwich week out with a bang, and made lobster grilled cheese.  If anything could make grilled cheese more decadent, lobster would be it.

Lobster Grilled Cheese

I'm not going to give you a recipe for grilled cheese, because I'm sure you all know how to make grilled cheese, but I will tell you what we used for the 2 large sandwiches that we made.

- 4 slices sour dough bread
- butter
- 3 cheeses (garlic cheddar, Gruyere, mozza - grated)
- 2 lobster tails

We fried them on low/medium slowly so that the cheese would get nice and melty.

We had salad on the side, because we're not complete gluttons ;-)

What is your favourite kind of sandwich?

Warm Lobster Salad

On Friday evening we tried a couple new dishes.  We made a simple appetizer that was was colourful, crunchy and delicious.

Just layer the following:

- Raw zucchini

- Hummus

- Shredded carrot

- Avocado

Top with sriracha if desired (recommended).

Raw zucchini is so good - who would have thought!?

We also enjoyed some hummus with homemade pita chips.

For the main course we made this and it turned out really well.  The vegetable mixture included garlic, onions, jalapenos, bacon, zucchini, herbs and corn.

We then seared lobster tails and wilted some tomatoes in with them.

Ohhhhh yeah ...

We used the leftover vegetable mixture in a frittata on Saturday morning.  

I had no idea how good corn and zucchini is with eggs - we'll definitely be making both the lobster salad and the frittata again.

On Saturday evening we went to Christopher's work BBQ. There was a huge selection of food, and I tried a little bit of everything.  The stuff on the plate isn't even half of it ...

How was your weekend?  Did you eat anything delicious?

Have you ever had raw zucchini?  If not try it!
