Grilled Blackberry and Cream Cheese Sandwich

Submitted by MTDavids

"Read Dawnab's Grilled Cheese Diner Style recipe and was suprised to see the feedback on the mayo. Here is one we have been enjoying for years that uses mayo for butter. It really dresses up a breakfast, and can be cooked on a grill with a griddle when camping. We use different jams and jellies, and replace the cream cheese with peanut butter for the kids (and sometimes Grandpa)."

What a great recipe! This is really easy to make. I had been saving this for a few weeks now and i was really busy today. I remembered about this recipe and decided to give it a try. At first i couldn't figure out why i had to stack the mayo dressed sides face to face. until i put mayo on a slice of bread and instinctively put the bread on my counter-top mayo side down without thinking. I have to remember that next time. Also i used my George Foreman grill and it worked great! the mayo formed a very crispy crust and the George Foreman squashed it down a little bit. The sandwich had little "pockets" of jam and when you bit into it they ooze out. What a simple and fantastic recipe! Thanks a bunch

MMMMMM delish. I used non-fat mayo and cream cheese, and low calorie bread. I also used strawberry jam because its all I had! Yum yum, thanks for the wonderful idea.

This is wonderful. Don't be afraid of the mayo, it's a perfect dressing for grilled bread (it's only egg and oil, the egg cooks, the oil keeps it from sticking -- it costs a lot less than butter, too!)and it tastes devine. Next time I'm going to try it with my rhubarb-ginger chutney.

Very good recipe that I made for dessert. I used butter instead of mayo because the idea of mixing a sweet treat with mayo just didnt sound too good, I sprinkled with powdered sugar when it was done cooking. I used strawberry jam as the filling and but some fresh strawberies in the sandwich too. I really enjoyed this treat and plan on making again. Made for PAC 07!
