Crispy Ham n Cheese Eggrolls

I made a version of this post 6 months or so ago, and decided to "vamp" it up a bit by adding other ingredients.
Throw in a little veggies and it's all good!



1/2 lb shaved ham ( sliced or chopped is fine also, just make sure the pieces are small
1/4 lb cheese ( I like the deli american and Swiss combo for this)
1 T mustard ( your preference)
1 1/2 teaspoon dill
1 medium tomato, chopped small
1/2 small onion minced
1 cup minced fresh spinach
salt and pepper to taste
1 Package eggroll wrappers ( found in the produce section)
2 or 3 Tablespoons water ( use for making the eggroll wrappers stick
Oil for frying
Mix all ingredients except wrappers and water in medium bowl.
If you have never made eggrolls before, I am leaving you THIS link for directions. it really is very easy.
Fry in hot oil till lightly browned.

Italian Lavash

>Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
With the heat index at 105 here in New Hampshire, you can probably figure why there hasn’t been much cooking going on at my house. (HENCE THE LACK OF BLOGGING) We’ve been doing the usual hot dogs, burgers and steaks out on the bbq.
Why is it that all winter we complain about the cold, then when it gets like this we wish for cooler weather? Seems we are never happy!
Anyway i just wanted to share our dinner with you, it’s not fancy, but it sure hits the spot in this stifiling weather!



~Italian Lavash~
Sundried Tomato wraps
cream cheese ( about 2 tablespoons, spread on wraps)
ham
capicola ( i used sweet, it had peppercorns in it, my fave)
salami
finely chopped tomato
“” “” lettuce
“” “” bannana peppers
Robust Italian dressing
coursely ground pepper
The assembly is really pretty simple.
I spread the cream cheese on the wraps.
Use 4 slices of each meat on top of the cream cheese. Add the provolone cheese, pressing lightly. Sprinkle on veggies of your choice, sprinkle with a bit of italian dressing and black pepper.
Roll up as tighly as possible, if you store it tightly wrapped in the cooler or fridge for a couple of hours it will hold it’s shape longer.
Slice with a shap knife and serve.
Like i said, very simple but a great summertime meal/snack for get togethers.
Thanks for reading!

Grilled Portabella Burger

 Grilled portabella mushroom sandwich
1 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
4 large portabella mushroom caps, stems removed
2 Portuguese crusty rolls
1/4- 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese
lettuce or arugula
Brush each of the mushroom caps with oil, both sides. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Let sit while you preheat your grill, broiler , or George Foreman Grill ( yes, i used it, i managed to get this one at a yard sale for a $1) Brush grates, if grilling, with oil. Grill mushrooms for 4-6 minutes. Place cheese on top and let melt. Toast rolls if desired, ( believe me , it’s worth it!) Serve with lettuce and or arugula.
