Bacon Cucumber And Cream Cheese Sammies Recipes

BACON AND JAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat a panini press.
• Spread the bread slices with the jam, all way to the edges. Lay 3 strips of bacon on 4 of the bread slices, breaking the strips as needed to fit the bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, jam-side down. Butter both sides of the sandwiches and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
• Place the sandwiches on the panini press and cook until golden brown and the cheese is crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the sandwiches into 4 triangles and serve.

BACON, CUCUMBER AND CREAM CHEESE SAMMIES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a 400 degree oven until crisp, being careful not to burn it, about 10-14 minutes. If you prefer, you could fry it in a pan or on the griddle. (I usually cook the bacon the night before) Drain well and let cool.
• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and seasoning packet together. (Adjust this to your taste - the seasoning tends to be salty, so pour about 1/4 packet at a time.).
• Thinly slice the cucumber and set it aside.
• Spread 2 slices of pumpernickle with a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture. On one slice, layer the cucumber and bacon, and top with the other slice of bread (cream cheese on both slices of bread holds the sandwich together nicely).
• Cut the sandwich into triangles and serve.
