hot sandwiches-
As a stay at home mom, some days I am not in the mood to go all out for breakfast or lunchtime just for myself and the little ones. Something quick works just fine. That’s why I just love these hot sandwiches.
Use your favorite combination of lunch meat, add tomatoes and avocado with mayo and cheese. Top mixture onto bread slices and toast. The mixture becomes hot and cheese and bread is crunchy. Such a simple recipe but SO GOOD!
can I make hot sandwiches ahead of time?
Yes, these definitely can be made ahead of time. Prepare per instruction, just add the avocado before toasting as it will brown quickly.
Keep mixture in an air tight container and refrigerated up to 2 days.
These open-faced sandwiches are a great way to use up lunch meat. You can even chop the meat and freeze it, then just thaw meat and add remaining ingredients. A great way to avoid throwing away lunch meat that hasn’t been used.
