Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (for 2-3 sandwiches):
For the Sloppy Joe filling:

250g ground beef

1/4 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove (chopped)

1/2 cup tomato sauce or ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional but great)

Salt and pepper

For the sandwich:

4-6 slices of bread (country bread, brioche bread, or thick sandwich bread)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or a combination of all )

2 tablespoons butter (softened)

Preparation:
Prepare the Sloppy Joe meat

In a hot skillet, sauté the onion and garlic. with a drizzle of oil.

Add the ground beef and cook until well browned.

Stir in the tomato sauce (or ketchup), mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes until the sauce is well reduced (not too thin, or your sandwich will drip everywhere—unless you like that ).

Assemble the sandwiches

Butter the outside of the bread slices.

Inside, place a layer of cheese, a generous spoonful of Sloppy Joe mix, then another layer of cheese. Close with a second slice of bread, buttered side out.

Grill gently

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Place the sandwiches and grill them for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Press lightly with a spatula to melt them thoroughly.

Serve immediately, piping hot.

Cut in half (diagonally for style ), serve with fries, pickles, or a salad… or just like that, by hand, very tasty!

 Variations:

Add a little jalapeños for a kick.

Put an extra slice of cheese on top and grill it for a cheese crust. 

Replace the beef with plant-based ground beef for a vegetarian version.

Spicy Chicken with Paprika and Herbs

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes + 30 minutes cooking time

Ingredients
 4 chicken thighs (approximately 700-800 g)
 1 tablespoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or oregano, thyme, etc.)
 1 pinch of salt
 1 pinch of pepper
 1 minced garlic clove (or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder)
 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Step-by-Step Preparation

1.  Preheating
• Preheat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6-7).

2.  Prepare the marinade
• In a bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, herbes de Provence, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

3.  Season the chicken
• Generously brush each chicken thigh with the marinade.
• Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate (optional, but recommended).

4.  Cook
• Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish.
• Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.
• Turn them over halfway through cooking for even browning.

5.  Check
• Check for doneness by pricking the meat: the juices should run clear and not pink.
• Serve hot.

Tip for making this recipe easier
 For an even more tender texture, marinate the chicken (covered) in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cooking.

Ingredient swaps
 You can substitute paprika with curry or ras el hanout to vary the flavors.

Cooking tip
 For maximum crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning the skin.

Sesame Caramelized Beef Skewers

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes (excluding marinating time)

Ingredients
• 600g beef (tender, such as rump or sirloin), cut into large cubes
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce (about 60 ml)
• 2 tablespoons honey (about 30 g)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (about 15 ml)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (about 10 g)
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1 pinch salt (optional, as the soy sauce is already salty)

Step-by-Step Preparation

1.  Prepare the Marinade
• In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil.
• Add the chopped garlic, sesame seeds, pepper (and salt if necessary).

2.  Marinate the meat
• Place the beef cubes in a container or airtight bag.
• Pour the marinade over the beef and toss to coat each piece well.
• Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2 hours for more flavor).

3.  Assemble the skewers
• Drain the beef pieces slightly.
• Thread them onto skewers, leaving a little space between each cube.

4.  Cook
• Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the skewers and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness.
• Brush them with the remaining marinade while cooking to intensify the caramelization.

Tip to make this recipe easier
 Before threading the meat, soak the wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes: this prevents them from burning during cooking.

Ingredient swaps
 You can replace the sesame oil with olive oil and the sesame seeds with poppy seeds for a different taste.

Cooking tip
 To achieve a slightly crispy exterior and a tender center, you can increase the heat in the last minute of cooking, keeping a close eye on the meat to avoid burning it.

Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

Ingredients:
12 slices of your favorite bread (consider whole-wheat for a healthier option)
12 slices of cheese (choose from Swiss, cheddar, or another cheese that melts well)
6 slices of ham (best if thinly sliced)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (any will do, even dairy-free)
A pinch of salt
Optional: Butter for greasing the baking dish and additional seasonings (like pepper, mustard, or herbs) to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your oven is at the right temperature to bake your sandwiches to perfection.
Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray. This prevents the sandwiches from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place 6 slices of bread on a flat surface. Place a slice of cheese on each slice, followed by a slice of ham. If your ham slices are large, you can fold them to fit inside the bread. Top the ham with another slice of cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Whisk eggs and milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined. If you want to add any additional seasonings, whisk them in now.
Dip the sandwiches: Gently dip both sides of each sandwich, one at a time, into the egg and milk mixture to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid without becoming too soggy.
Arrange in the baking dish: Place the dipped sandwiches in the prepared baking dish. They should fit snugly. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the sandwiches.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted. The exact time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
Serving: After baking, let the sandwiches rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle and allow the flavors to develop better. Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve warm.
