How to Make Abbey S Melted Cheddar Sausage And Olive Sandwich

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup cooked sausage, 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently.
  2. Preheat your broiler or toaster oven to high.
  3. Cut a 6-inch sub roll in half lengthwise. Place both halves on a broiler pan or baking sheet.
  4. Broil or toast the bun halves for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Remove the bun halves from the oven. Evenly spread the sausage mixture over both halves.
  6. Top each half with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Return the sandwich halves to the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and lightly browned.
  8. Serve immediately, open-faced or closed as a sandwich.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
