Years ago, when my husband and I were first married, one of our favorite places to visit was the Kansas City Union Station. It was a neat place to browse, and at the time, there was a small museum where we were able to see the buildings history, how it was renovated, and it was free of charge. This made for a great time together and cost us little to no money. Sadly, like many things, there have been some changes made since then, and the little museum is no longer there.
Anyway, during one of our visits there, we stopped at one of the little restaurants that they had(don't remember the name of it) and ordered this wonderful grilled sandwich! Perhaps we were so hungry that anything would have tasted amazing to us. Either way, we had discovered a 'little treasure' there and planned to stop in again on our next visit. Unfurtunately, the next time we returned, the restaurant was gone! We were a bit disappointed...but, after giving it some thought, we recreated the sandwich to enjoy at home...whenever we wanted.
The recipe is simple, easy to make, and packed with lots of flavor! Hope you enjoy it as well!
~Union Station's Grilled Italian Sandwich~
GF Bread (Italian's our favorite)
Pepperoni
Ham
Tomatoes
Onion, sliced
Mozzarella Cheese, sliced (Swiss would be great also)
Italian Dressing
~Heat a skillet or griddle.
~Butter one side of bread.
~Lay the buttered-side down on heated griddle.
~On top of the bread place a slice of mozzarella cheese.
~ Then, place a layer of pepperoni and a layer of ham.
~Place a layer of tomato slices
~Then place another layer of pepperoni, and ham, and a layer of cheese
~Butter another side of bread and place on top.
~Flip the sandwich over(it can be a little tricky to keep it together...or perhaps I'm the only one with difficulty here)
~Pour a little Italian Dressing on the side that's been grilled(I use about 2 Tbsp.).
~Flip the sandwich again and pour Dressing to the other side as well. Make sure both sides have the dressing added and are grilled. Using a dressing that is a little thicker and not quite as oily works best...but you may find it doesn't matter. I place just enough to flavor it, without making it soggy(the grilling helps with this also).
(Will upload a picture at a later time. Sorry I'm unable to at this time.)
