Italian Toasty
Mark my words, this easy appetizer will quickly become part of your standard party fare. Gooey, salty, and meaty, toasties are only as good as the ingredients you use, so splurge on quality meats and cheese. They are filling, pair well with this fabulous wine, and are also great served at lunch with a light soup or salad.
Italian Grilled Cheese
Red wine with a grilled cheese sandwich? Absolutely! They taste even better together. These sandwiches are delicious, and adding a dash of oregano gives them a decidedly Italian twist. Paired with soup, you have a complete meal, especially if you include a side salad and a glass of wine.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Buttery and crunchy on the outside, with a silken, gooey inside, does anything bring back childhood memories more than a grilled cheese sandwich? Thankfully, as an adult, you have cheese options far more palatable than American or mild cheddar.
Tuna Salad Sandwich
A great tuna sandwich is easy to prepare if you start with great ingredients. This filling will easily keep for three days in your refrigerator, so it’s worth doubling the recipe. A scoop of it is also a welcome addition to a tossed green salad, elevating a salad into a simple lunch.
Egg Salad Sandwich
There are times when nothing hits the spot quite like an egg salad sandwich. White or wheat bread works equally well, and like deviled eggs, this basic recipe lends itself to a wide variety of seasonings from dill to curry powder. Start basic and then go in whichever direction suits your mood. Feel free to add tomato slices, crisp lettuce leaves, even pickles.
