Day 19 - Pumpkin & Turkey Croque Monsieur


                    Pumpkin & Turkey
                  Croque Monsieur
4 thin slices of raw pumpkin in your bread
   slices' shape, and lightly salted
4 thick slices french bread
8 thin slices Turkey Ham, this is in the deli
   section and is turkey that is chopped & 
   formed to look like ham (it was one of
   my Dad's favorites, and I never really
   found a perfect recipe for it...till now!)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
8 slices swiss cheese
2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
1/2 tsp mustard
2 Tbsp olive oil


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Or may
use Toaster oven at this setting.
Heat olive oil in frying pan. Saute 
pumpkin slices on medium low heat
for about 4 minutes each side, or until
slightly browned on each side, and 
cooked thoroughly. Remove from heat
and set aside.
Mix mayonnaise and mustard. Place
slices of bread on baking sheet. Spread
evenly with mayonnaise. Place two slices
of Turkey Ham on each slice of bread.
Place pumpkin on top of each ham slice.
Split parmesan cheese evenly in 4 
amounts and sprinkle on top of pumpkin.
Top with swiss cheese slices until top
fully covered with cheese. Place in oven
and bake for 20 minutes, or until slightly
browned and bubbly on top. Serve hot!
Ooooooh, so delectably crunchy and melty, gooey cheesy!!!!
