Lasagna Sandwiches creatively reinterpret the traditional lasagna into a convenient sandwich format, perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. By blending sour cream, chopped onions, and dried oregano, this dish maintains the herbaceous and creamy notes reminiscent of classic Italian cooking. The crispy bacon and fresh tomato slices add texture and freshness, while the melted mozzarella cheese brings a rich, gooey finish. This recipe is not only flavorful but also versatile; it pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a comforting meal. Lasagna Sandwiches are ideal for those who enjoy the heartiness of Italian cuisine but prefer a more playful, handheld presentation. The use of butter to toast the sandwiches enhances the flavor and creates a golden, crispy crust that contrasts nicely with the creamy interior. Historically, lasagna is a layered pasta dish enjoyed in Italy for centuries, known for its rich combination of cheeses, meats, and sauces. Translating these elements into a sandwich offers a modern and fun twist, making Italian flavors accessible to all, especially for quick meals or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tb Chopped Onion
  • 0.5 tb Dried Oregano
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 8 slice Bread
  • 8 slice Bacon
  • 8 slice Tomato
  • 4 slice Mozzarella
  • 2 1/2 tb Butter

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, chopped onion, dried oregano, and salt until well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful spread that will infuse each bite with zest and herbaceous notes. Generously spread this mixture onto four slices of bread, ensuring an even layer that will serve as the moist, tangy foundation of your lasagna sandwiches. Next, layer each with two slices of crispy bacon, a couple slices of ripe, juicy tomato, and one slice of mozzarella cheese to build richness and balance. Top each assembled slice with the remaining bread slices, pressing gently to compact the flavors. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter, enough to coat the cooking surface generously. Carefully place the sandwiches onto the skillet, toasting until each side turns a light golden brown and the mozzarella inside melts perfectly, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed to maintain a beautiful crust. Tip: Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella for the best melt and flavor. For added crunch, consider lightly pressing the sandwiches while cooking with a spatula. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey cheese and crispy exterior to their fullest.
