Last week announced that it was time to kick things up a notch around here. Now, that means getting back in the kitchen and challenging myself with new techniques and recipes that intimidate me. It also means trying new things. Expanding horizons and all that.
This challenge to myself completely contradicts yesterdays post. The cookies may have distracted you, but it was all about making time. The thing is, the kitchen is my time. So even if recipes as simple as a lamb sandwich appear from time to time on PtS, know that they were worthy of a post, and put a smile on my face.
Leftover Lamb Grilled Cheese Sandwich
from Closet Cooking
Ingredients:
- 2 slices thick hearty bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup havarti, shredded
- 1/4 cup leftover lamb, reheated
- sliced red onion
- handful of spinach
- 2 tablespoons tzatziki, room temperature
Preparation:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slices of the bread. Layer the cheese, lamb, onion, spinach and tzatziki on the bread and top with remaining slice.
Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet and grill until deep golden brown and cheese is melted about 4 minutes per side
Add the sandwich to the pan and grill until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.

That is definitely not your everyday grilled cheese!
That is the manliest grilled cheese I’ve ever seen!
I love where your creativity took you this week – this sandwich looks incredible! All that melted cheese and that delicious lamb…heaven… I’m featuring this post in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and thanks always for keeping me inspired with new ideas…
Ermahgerd. I could totally dive face-first into one of these right about now – it’s pouring rain outside, and somehow, grilled cheese always feels like a perfect rainy-day meal.
Sadly, as I do not have any leftover lamb kicking around, it’s not meant to be… but I’ll definitely be remembering this one for the next time I do have some lamb on hand.
Now that is one nice looking sandwich. What a great way to use up leftovers.
