in #steemitsandwichcontest7 years ago (edited)

Dear Hearts,
I write this brief letter to thank all my fellow sandwiteers for the friendship and hearty competitiveness offered here on our beloved SSC; I for one am certainly having loads of fun these days with hearty sandwiches!
We have only one person to thank, and it's our dear judge who is at the heart of SSC and that of course as we all know, is our beloved @jaybird!
So today I will share with you my Hearty German Sausage & Sprouts Stack, hope you enjoy it!
Much love and heartfelt thanks,
Yours truly @lizelle

I used the following simple ingredients:

  • Two heart shaped pancakes (Recipe at end of post)
  • One German Knakwurst, grated (a delicious sausage with a strong garlic flavour)
  • Variety of Sprouts
  • Grated Cheddar Cheese

First to lay me down on the heart pancakes - heart healthy sprouts

Secondly the grated German Knakwurst - not very heart healthy!

Lastly a generous layer of grated Cheddar Cheese - will not get the heart foundation stamp of approval!!

I shaped the remaining cheese into a heart shape on the baking pan.

I popped both pancakes under the grill with the cheesy heart.

Pancake hearts cannot be parted, so layered them snugly together.

The cheesy crispy heart ready to be broken by whoever touches it first.

Pancake heart has been broken in two and will be devoured anytime now!

Thanks @jaybird, I had fun with my post as well, letter writing is something seldom done these days, I almost did not post this letter ;);)

There was a lot of heart in that sandwich @lizelle. Your creativity and thought into all of your food is astounding. You are such an inspiration!I l enjoyed the play on heart healthy sprouts and not so heart healthy knockwurst. The crispy cheese heart is the perfect crunch element in your sandwich. Yum!

Ah thank you @loveself, I get inspiration from all of you here!

No doubt another lovely creation that reminds me of home!!! You are full of great ideas!

Hope I'm not making you homesick @alansthoughs ;)

It's a better thing, it's making me miss the great time I had as a child!

thst looks so delicious. Peter loves German food. I will definitely try that one. thanks @Lizelle for all your delicious recipes. they always come in so handy. Unfortunately I don't alwsys have that creative spark when it comes to food. love your post

Thanks @artywink, I will give the pancake (crumpet in our language) recipe as a reply to @pamcooks if you like to try it. But you're so creative otherwise!

I like this, in the form of a heart and a lot of cheese. Cheese is definitely my favorite, as always a good entry and very creative

Ah thanks @yesslife, that crispy cheese was yummy!
