Are your New Year’s Eve plans set yet? This week the #SundaySupper crew is having a New Year’s Eve potluck with Emeril. We are featuring recipes from his cookbooks Kicked-Up Sandwiches: Stacked with Flavor
I, like a lot of people, have the resolution to eat healthier and exercise more. This sandwich is a great way to get in a lot of veggies in one meal. While it does have 3 different types of cheese, just ask the deli to slice it very thin, that way you get the taste, but not all the calories of a huge slice. Emeril has a recipe for his multigrain bread on page 301 of the Kicked-Up Sandwiches
I only made one small change to Emeril’s original recipe, which was to leave off the cucumbers. I’m not a fan, so I added a little extra avocado. He also provides the recipe for a Sun-Dried Tomato and Walnut Pesto on page 320, but since I already had store bought Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto in my fridge I just used that.
- 8 slices seeded or multigrain bread (page 301), toasted
- 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomato and Walnut Pesto (page 320)
- ½ cucumber, sliced into ⅛ inch thick rounds
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- ½ avocado, thinly sliced
- ½ cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup alfalfa or green leaf sprouts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Arrange the toast slices in a single layer on a work surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of the Sun-Dried Tomato and Walnut Pesto on each slice of bread. On 4 of the slices arrange the cucumber in a single layer, covering as much of the bread as possible, and season with just a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a slice each of provolone, cheddar and Swiss cheese on top of the cucumber. Divide the avocado slices evenly among the sandwiches and season with salt and pepper. Spread 2 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the avocado.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread ¼ cup of the sprouts over the tomatoes on each sandwich. Complete the sandwiches with the remaining slices of toast.
And, did I mention one lucky reader will win a copy of Emeril’s cookbook.

Oh Lane, you did such a great job with this sandwich. The photos are wonderful and make me want to have the sandwich right now!
Lane, this looks so good! Have a safe and happy 2013!
Oh yes. I think I could eat this every day!
Yum – this sandwich looks so fresh and yummy. It looks perfect for Florida…not too filling or heavy!
Lane,
This sandwich looks amazing …. I can’t wait to try it myself.
Thank you so much for your support and everything you have done this past year! It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and meeting you IRL this past year. I am looking forward to sharing many more #SundaySupper events with you in 2013. Happy New Year!
I adore sandwiches! My favorite right now is mashed avocado on toast with hot sauce and sea salt. I recently found your blog, so I haven’t checked out #SundaySupper – yet. I will tonight! I’m @JanelGr. Have a Happy New Year!
I just tweeted about this! (@JanelGr)
I shared this post on Facebook.
This is a great, great sandwich. Do try Emeril’s sun-dried tomato & walnut pesto. To. die. for.
Since I’m an absolute #cheeseslut…I am totally in lust with this sandwich. I’d leave the cukes on AND add extra avocado. Just because ;P. It looks amazing, Lane!
Beautiful presentation, and delicious looking sandwich. Happy New Year!
This sandwich recipe has me so excited for my pack lunches. I already have all the ingredients ready in my food order for delivery this week. So excited!
My favorite sandwiches must be hot and pressed. I like either a chicken philly or a “turkey” cuban.
I tweeted (my twitter page is @HealthyGirlAdv) and I shared the giveaway on my facebook page with the tag. It should be under my personal facebook page- Nicole Addison.
My favorite sandwich is roasted red peppers, arugula, and fresh mozzarella with pesto.
@HezziD
This almost looks too good to eat….almost! Have a very Happy New Year!!
Sadly I can’t participate in your contest because I don’t tweet, but I have to say this looks delicious and I’ve pinned it to try next week. Thanks for sharing.
What a healthy veggie sandwich Lane! Beautiful photo shot! @trish0605
My favorite sandwich is a Cuban @dbcurrie

I, too, will be trying to eat healthier during the new year. We’ll see how long it lasts. This sammie looks delicious. Happy New Year, Lane!
The sandwich looks and sounds amazing, Lane. Good thinking about asking the cheese monger to slice the various fromages extra-thin so one can still enjoy without the calories =) I am intrigued by the bread recipe and will see you at the #SundaySupper.
@NinjaBaking
P.s. I’m tweeting your healthy, yummy sandwich on Twitter.
I would totally substitute extra avocado for the cucumbers, too. I love pickles…but not cukes.
Beautiful sandwich…and you’re right; quite healthy if your cheese is sliced thin. YUM! Happy New Year!
Sounds like the Emeril Three Cheese Veggie Sandwich will be my new favorite! YUM!!!
Veggie sandwiches are great!! Although my favorite would have to be a good ol’ BLT
@tiza126
Ham & swiss roll-ups & don’t forget the bread and butter pickles as i was reminded! @cookwithdeb10 #SundaySupper
All about those sprouts! Yum yum yum!! @jo_jo_ba
I’m not a huge fan of veggie only sandwiches (I’m a straight up carnivore & carbivore most of the time) but even I can’t resist this. I LOVE avocado so I’m totally on board with you adding extra. I’m determined to eat better as well so I’m adding this recipe to my weekly meal rotation. Happy New Year, Lane!
My favorite sandwich is a chicken club.

This is one seriously gorgeous sandwich. Love the photos, I just want to reach in and take a big bite. Happy New Year!
Healthy, delicious, and beautiful! What a great sandwich! Your photos rock too!
