BY
STELLA ELIZABETH DELAND.


Toasting sandwiches is usually
considered a nuisance, and 1t is II
one has not an electric toaster or
an electric grill with toasting
compartment But with one or the
other of these electrical appliances
it is simple process and such
sandwiches make an excellent dish
either for luncheon or Sunday night
supper.
The combination ham and egg
sandwich is very delicious, but few
people attempt to make 1t, for usu-
ally it involves standing at the
range frying the ham and the eggs
and at the same time watching the
toast. This, however, is the way
do it on my electric grill, which
has toasting compartment. 1 fry
the eggs in a pan on top of the
grill, broil the ham in the COM
partment beneath the heating ele-
ment of the grill and in the mean
while / toast the bread in the cen
ter compartment.
II your grill does not have the
toasting compartment the ham will
hroil slowly If placed on the pedes-
tai Of the grill and the toast NAV
be made directly under the ele-
ment. Even in this way enough
which should never be too we'll
done, while cut very thin.
do not butter the toast for this
sandwich as the fat from the ham
supplies the necessary element. A
lettuce leaf or thin slice of to-s
nlato placed between the ham and
the egg adds much to the taste of
this sandwich.
Toasted Tongue Sandwich.
For six such sandwiches chop a
quarter pound of tongue together
with an inch-square piece of green
pepper and three inch-square pieces
of American cheese. Put this
through the chopper two or three
times until it is almost a mousse
or paste. Spread on a piece of
bread, cover with another and
place the sandwiches in the electric
toaster and toast on both sides.
Remove, add to 1t crisp leaf of
lettuce and serve. IL the sand
wich does not hold together fasten
with toothpicks.
For six sandwiches bone twelve
sardines and put through a sieve
and follow suit with the yolks OF
two hard-boiled eggs. Into this stir
two tablespoonfuls of thick may.
onnaise and season to taste with
salt, pepper and paprika. 4
Spread on bread, pin the two
slices together with toothpicks and
toast on both sides of the sandwich
in the electric toaster, or the toast
ing compartment of the grill 1t
is not necessary TO toast the in
side of the sandwich because that
makes the sandwich hard
Bacon and Tomatoes
While you are broiling or frying
the bacon for this sandwich on the
top or underneath the cooking ele.
ment of the electric grill, toast your
bread in the toasting compartment
or on a separate toaster.
Spread 1t with mayonnaise, place
crisply broiled slice of bacon on
slice OF toast. then two thin slices
of tomato and the other piece of
bread which has also been spread
with ,mayonnaise. Cut in triangles
and serve.
For this one may use either
chopped chicken or thin slices OF
white and dark meat. Spread the
bread with butter, place the chicken
on it. II chopped or minced chick
en- is used the sandwich should be
seasoned with tiny piece Of green
pepper and salt and pepper, and If
the chicken is sliced a little paprika,
together with salt and pepper, will
add to the taste.
Then cover with the other piece or
buttered bread and toast according
to directions given above. When
this has been done add a crisp leaf
of lettuce and serve with an olive
on each triangle for garnish.
