The Nightmare
Part of the "Dream/Nightmare" duo, this open-faced monster of a sandwich layered ham, turkey, and broccoli with The Common Man signature mac & cheese sauce and (not done yet!) tomato, bacon and cheddar. Guaranteed to haunt your dreams.
Ingredients
- 2 Rye bread slices
- 4 oz ham, sliced
- 4 oz turkey, sliced
- 4 oz roasted broccoli florets
- 2 oz tomato, small dice
- 8 oz mac & cheese sauce
- 4 pieces of bacon, cooked
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Cheese Sauce
- 4 oz white wine
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 10 oz cheddar cheese
- 5 oz Monterey Jack cheese grated
- 2 oz mozzarella cheese grated
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the cheese sauce, combine wine, onions and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce wine by 75%. In a separate saucepan, bring heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat. Add reduced wine into cream. Stir in cheeses until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 450℉. Place rye bread in a casserole dish and top with 2oz of cheese sauce. Top with ham, turkey, broccoli, and tomato. Top with more cheese sauce. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until heated through and sauce is bubbly.
- Add two slices of bacon and a slice of cheddar to each sandwich and return to the oven for another minute until cheese is melted.
