With the holiday season around the corner, the pantry is generally stock full of meats, hams, roast chicken, cheeses of different kinds, fruity and tangy sauces and dips and all manner of fresh vegetables which go into the preparation of holiday feasts. And so many of these ingredients can actually be used to make holiday-themed sandwiches in your handy sandwich griller. Bring out the USHA Sandwich Griller on a festive morning or at luncheon hour and prepare sumptuous holiday-themed sandwiches oozing with melted cheese that will keep you full until it is time for the holiday dinner.
Maple Bacon-Cheddar Melt
The perfect sandwich for your holiday brunch cravings, this is a flavourful blend of freshly fried crispy bacon, homemade eggnog aioli and lots of cheddar, all lined inside a stunning brioche bun. Sprinkle just a little bit of nutmeg powder on the filling before covering it up with the bread and pressing it in the sandwich griller. The lightly sweet flavours of the charred brioche go really well with the contrasting savoury notes of bacon and the slightly salty flavour of cheese, all of which make-up a really delicious holiday-themed sandwich.
Pumpkin, Feta And Sage Grill
Roasted pumpkins, soft and sweet, are a holiday staple. Mix them up with crumbled feta and fresh sage to prepare a sandwich filling that can be layered on ciabatta buns. Add caramelised onions for a sweet and earthy touch and just a hint of garlic for more flavour. Put the sandwich in the griller after brushing the bread with a little bit of olive oil so it crispens well. Serve with sweet potato chips if the sandwich is meant to function as a quick luncheon bite ahead of a big holiday feast.

Spiced Lamb And Mint Yoghurt Toasted Wrap
If you have lamb kebobs leftover from a holiday feast, turn them into delicious sandwich fillings the morning after. Slice the spicy and fragrant lamb kebabs and layer them in a flatbread that is lathered with a mint and yoghurt dip. Top the kebabs off with some pickled onions and carrots before folding the flatbread and putting it in the sandwich griller. This toasted wrap or roll-style sandwich can function as an on-the-go lunch that still reminds you of the holiday meal.
Pesto Turkey Caprese Panini
Prepare a panini sandwich and grill it in the sandwich griller so the bread becomes lightly crispy, warm and chewy. Pesto is very easy to make at home, so blend some of this delicious basil spread and line it on the panini, accompanied by sliced turkey, fresh mozzarella and little slivers of a bright red tomato. Focaccia can also be used to prepare this grilled sandwich, as a denser bread alternative. Glaze the warm sandwich with balsamic vinegar once it is out of the griller.
Cranberry Orange Chicken Griller
All things citrusy, sweet, tart, acidic and spicy, this sandwich is sheer holiday perfection. Place pieces of grilled chicken inside sourdough bread and accentuate the filling with orange zest mayo, cranberry relish and baby greens. Add a sliver of smoked gouda for a cheesier, edgier depth. Pop this sumptuous stuffed sourdough into the griller until the cheese melts and the bread crispens. Drizzle the sourdough with just a little bit of olive oil for a uniform, toasted effect.
