Cucumber Sandwich

     My grandma said she always had to make an onion sandwich for some of the men in her family growing up, and I use to think it was one of the most disgusting things I ever heard of. Such a plain sandwich!
     But when I think about it, many times pre World War II, simple sandwiches like that were the thing many people ate. Look at the B-L-T, super simple sandwich!
     So this sandwich would probably be a step up above the super simple, since it has to be heated together.
 

Ingredients 
    Sourdough bread
    olive oil
    2 cucumbers
    3 tomatoes, sliced thin
    lemon pepper
    sliced Swiss cheese


Directions
    Brush oil on bread slices.
    Layer cucumber, tomato on sourdough.
    Sprinkle with lemon pepper and place slice of cheese on top.
    Place open sandwich on broiler pan, lined with aluminum foil.
    Broil sandwiches until cheese is melted.


Changes I made!
    This recipe works great if you are making a lot of sandwiches for a lot of people. I do want to try this with different cheeses, the Swiss didn't line up perfectly for me.



This recipe is from The Book Lover's Cookbook.

By the Cookbooks

Hello one and all,       Since living on my own, I've fostered a great love for cooking. It's how I show people I care, and I find great comfort in it.       Now, I have a friend who knows this about me and regularly buys me cookbooks as gifts, but I have never used them. I either ask family members for recipes or go online to for recipes. Pinterest has been my diet's best friend. Six cookbooks just sat there, waiting to have their creations made.       After a free weekend, I decided to dig into my 6 cookbooks and have found many new recipes I want to try.      The six cookbooks, all very different, but also represent a different part of my life.      I've picked recipes from:      1) The "I Don't Know How to Cook" Book, 2nd edition by Mary-Lane Kamberg.      2) The Book Lover's Cookbook by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger & Janet Kay Jensen.      3) 100 Perfect D...
