Laura's Kitchen: Cream Cheese, Ham and Pepper Melts

Cream Cheese, Ham and Pepper Melts

Many years ago I had a delicious bagel sandwich at Benny's Bagels in Vancouver. It had a herb cream cheese layer, ham, red peppers, and cheddar cheese on top. Here is my attempt at recreating this sandwich:

I started with crusty bread

I then took cream cheese, chives, and green onions and pureed them in the food processor

Next came the ham

Then the peppers

Mozzarella cheese and chives

Broiled them until lightly brown, these turned out to be a great addition to our lunch. Enjoy!

About Me

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to cook! I also like to eat, and for me the two activities go hand in hand. I like to try new recipes and enjoy reading through cookbooks. I baked gluten-free for four years, so you will see many gluten-free options. I now eat wheat, so my recent recipes reflect that. Hopefully you can find some recipes that will work for you. I also love photography, and this fits quite well with my interest in cooking.

I am a mom to an adult daughter and I am a proud auntie. My husband (of nearly 29 years!) helps to give me instant feedback with my recipes and this is something I value. I work full time as an Associate Professor in the Early Childhood Education Program at Thompson Rivers University, so I understand the need for getting a meal onto the table in a short amount of time. You may notice that I love make ahead meals as it helps for those times when getting a meal to the table is challenging.

I like to cook for family and friends and find food brings people together. Simply put, I think food is important. I hope you will be inspired to try something new or be reminded of the joy that a good meal can bring. Great things often happen around the kitchen table.
