Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients

• 24 white dinner rolls
• 24 pieces honey ham
• 24 small slices Swiss cheese
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup miracle whip

Poppy seed sauce:

• 1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
• 1½ Tablespoons yellow mustard
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 Tablespoon minced onion
• ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm. Note: Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time. I don't like to do it more than a day ahead because they can get soggy from the mayo mixture.

Meatball Parm Sandwiches

Ingredients

For the Meatballs:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal (if you don't like veal, just use more beef)
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Olive oil, for frying
For the Sandwich Build:
6 ciabatta buns, split
1 16 -ounce jar marinara sauce, warmed
1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup hot giardiniera, drained and roughly chopped
1 12 -ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced into strips

Directions

Make the meatballs: Preheat the broiler. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pecorino, parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper until it is all incorporated. Add the ground meats and breadcrumbs and, using your God-given hands, get after it and mix away. Do not overwork the meat or it will turn meatloaf-y. You want it loose and supple.

Using your hands again, make 6 loose patties to match the size of your bread. Heat some oil in a large heavy-bottomed cast-iron pan (or use a griddle pan) over medium heat. In batches, fry the patties until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.

For the sandwich build: Toast the split buns under the broiler, about 3 minutes. Spoon 3 tablespoons of sauce on top of each patty and top with a few slices of mozzarella. Place the patties under the broiler until melted and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Place the patties on the buns and top with giardiniera and roasted red peppers. Cut in half and serve with the remaining marinara sauce on the side.

Classic Tiramisu with Chocolate

Ingredients

3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup dry Marsala wine
1 8 -ounce container mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup), at room temperature
3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 cup boiling water
1 7 -ounce package crisp ladyfingers (savoiardi)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Make the zabaglione: Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. With the bowl still over the simmering water, gradually whisk in 1/3 cup Marsala and cook, whisking constantly, until the zabaglione is light, foamy and the mixture registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and let cool completely.

Put the mascarpone in a large bowl and fold in the zabaglione with a rubber spatula, then whisk until just smooth (do not overmix). Whisk the heavy cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, then fold into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the espresso powder in a shallow bowl; add the boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup Marsala. One at a time, quickly dip half of the ladyfingers in the liquid, turning, until wet on both sides but not soggy (about 2 seconds per side); arrange in a single layer in a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with the chocolate. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
