OH BOY ... Sandwiches!
But not just any sandwich. This is a reminder of a fresh made deli sandwich with just a couple of upgrades.
First, I am getting into Fall mode for my little catering business. I specialize in small business lunches and I like to do soups and sandwiches for this season. I made these up to pair with a vegetarian potato soup. a little something for everyone.
I do a lot of meals for realtor offices. There are always a big group that, while not really dieting, are happy when I add something "low" to the title. Low Cal is fine, but these are not really low col. But they are Low CARB. They love low carb anything.
For a group, they are fast to put together. Probably take longer to prep the thin sliced items than to actually assemble the sandwiches. They are filling and do indeed pair well with the soup!
Enjoy indeed!
OK... Here's what I did...
Black Forrest Ham
Deli Roll-Ups
