Dinner and a Movie Night: Spanglish

Spanglish didn't get great reviews but it wasn't rated as Spawn bad, so I thought we'd give it a try for tonight's Dinner & A Movie. Thomas Keller was consulted on a sandwich that is made in the film and for me, that's enough to warrant a viewing.

Spanglish Sandwich
From Thomas Keller and Food and Wine Magazine

• 4 thick slices of bacon
• 2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 thick slices of rustic white bread, toasted and hot
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 4 tomato slices
• 2 leaves of butter lettuce
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 1 large egg

In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Set the Monterey Jack slices on 1 piece of toast. Spread the mayonnaise on the other slice of toast, then top with the bacon, tomato and lettuce.

In a small, nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the egg and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp around the edge, about 4 minutes; the yolk should still be runny.

Slide the egg onto the lettuce; close the sandwich and eat right away.

Makes 1 sandwich.
