Another Magazine Page Meal!
I liked this meal. It was simple, comfort food. Yes, it's very high in calories at around 630 calories a serving, but it's also a nice treat once in awhile. I had Miss Mia in the kitchen "helping cook" as usual. She was able to spread the mustard on the bread, and pile turkey, cheese and arugula on top of the "mustard bread." We weren't able to get sourdough bread, so we use some rolls we had in the freezer. I cannot wait to try this with sourdough sandwich bread.
Miss Mia liked eating this as well - then again, she's on a big Monsters, Inc kick and she loved eating her "Monster Cheese"!

~ adapted from family circle
1 pound small red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 T olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 slices sourdough sandwich bread
8 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 pound sliced smoked turkey
1/3 pound sliced Muenster cheese
12 leaves of arugula or basil
3 eggs
1 tsp milk
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 T butter
Heat oven to 450.
Place potatoes and onions on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper. Bake at 50 for 20 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through cooking time.
Meanwhile, place 4 slices of bread on a work surface and spread each with 2 tsp of the mustard. Equally divide the turkey and cheese over each bread slice. Top each with 3 pieces of arugula and the remaining bread slices.
In a shallow dish, beat eggs, milk and cayenne.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put a little butter in skillet. Dip 2 of the sandwiches in the egg mixture and add to the skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Remove sandwiches from skillet; keep warm. Reduce heat to medium; repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
Serve the sandwiches immediately with the roasted potatoes on the side.
