Mayo Spread

At Stevens’  Catering we never used a plain mayonnaise for sandwiches or roll ups. I never  was fond of plain mayonnaise due to the high fat content so we always tried to cut with a lower fat sour cream. Today I’m making a Mayo Spread to go on a large  hot sandwich on French bread.

The sauce begins with 1 cup mayonnaise and add 2/3 cup sour cream.  This helps to cut the fat in the mayonnaise.  For flavor add 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.

Slather it on both sides of a warm french bread sandwich.

I used what I had so I’m putting it on both sides and adding 4 slices of Off The Bone Ham and cooked bacon.  On the other side goes two  kinds of cheese. I am using white American and swiss.  Use what you have.  Into a 350 degrees oven it goes.  Just long enough to warm.

Close it together, cut and you have a hot sandwich sure to please any palate.

What ever is leftover, I cover and pop in the refrigerator.  Use for all your sandwich needs,

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

chocolate dipped strawberries

Dipping strawberries is simple but I may have a few tips to improve your product,  First, DO NOT wash your strawberries.  They are 90% water and more water just tends to damage them.  Lightly blot them with a damp paper towel just before dipping.   Make sure your dipping sauce is lower than body temperature so the warmth will not cook the strawberries. Do not allow water or any liquid to get in the melted chocolate.  It will seize up.   And with the leftover chocolate, add toasted nuts, pretzels, chow mien noodles, toasted coconut or whatever! 

 

Be sure not to get candy coating or chocolate fountain candy. I put a link below so you can see real chocolate. Enjoy!
