cheese cheesy lunch main dish recipe salami sandwich sourdough bread veggies

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt

A very special thank you to San Luis Sourdough® breads for sponsoring this recipe. As always, all opinions are my own!

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenSometimes I feel like I use the same ingredients over and over again, just in different forms.

I guess it makes sense when you think about it, when grocery shopping we all tend to buy things we’re familiar with week and and week out. I know one of my favorite snacks is some Italian Dry Salame with sliced pepper jack cheese. It’s seriously the best.

Now, my daughter RiRi loves bread. She will grab a slice of sourdough bread and just eat it like that. No toasting or adding anything. Mr. Harris loves his sandwiches, especially with horseradish mustard and pepperoncinis. This sandwich combines all of our favorites into something truly delicious.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI think Pepper Jack cheese has to be my favorite cheese. It’s tasty with a kick and it melts so well. It’s a great all around cheese and it adds so much to any recipe that it’s a part of. For this sandwich I just started adding what I thought would sound good. I love a good grilled cheese, but this isn’t quite a grilled cheese. There’s a lot of other ingredients in there, and I didn’t quite cook the sandwich long enough to where the cheese was completely soft. Just enough to get that delicious sourdough bread golden and the cheese to warm up a bit and soften. Let’s call this a sourdough melt, I think that suits it.

I had this container full of “power greens” which is baby spinach and baby kale combined. I thought it would be a great addition, but you could use any greens really, it’s up to you. I wouldn’t skip the basil, though. It really added to the salame and cheese flavors, everything complimented one another so well!

In addition to the salame, Pepper Jack cheese, basil and power greens, I also added some thinly sliced tomatoes seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper and some deli sliced pepperoncinis for a nice kick. The inside of the sandwich bread is spread thinly with a horseradish mustard. It’s quite the combination and the flavor is definitely not lacking.

Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenOf course I used a classic bread from the  San Luis Sourdough® bread line, the sliced sourdough bread round. I think sourdough is one of the best breads to use when making a warm, buttery sandwich. The texture is just so perfect paired with a bit of butter to get a gorgeous golden crust, and because it’s sourdough it’s a bit more durable than other sandwich breads. It’s my go-to.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWhat I love about San Luis Sourdough® bread is that it’s an authentic sourdough, right down to the 30 hour slow bake process. It’s everything you could want in your sourdough bread, right down to the crisp flavor and bubble crust. With natural, unprocessed ingredients that are easy to pronounce and no preservatives, all of the San Luis Sourdough® breads are Non-GMO Project Verified*. The Sourdough Deli Bread has a truly authentic sourdough taste with the traditional bubbling, flavorful crust. It’s perfect for sandwiches and toast!

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices San Luis Sourdough® Bread
  • 2 teaspoons horseradish mustard
  • 1-2 oz Pepper Jack Cheese
  • power greens (baby spinach and baby kale)
  • Italian Dry Salame
  • 4 thin slices hot house tomatoes
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 basil leaves, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons deli sliced golden greek pepperoncini
  • 1 tablespoons butter (divided)

Directions:

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by spreading the horseradish mustard along the inside of each bread slice. On one slice add half of the cheese, then top with the power greens. Top with salame, then shredded basil.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd the tomatoes, then salt and pepper.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenTop with pepperoncinis, then add the other slice of bread on top. Melt half of the butter in a cast iron skillet on medium/low heat. Once butter has melted, add the sandwich and allow to cook until golden. Try not to press sandwich too hard together, you want to see all the layers still.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenRemove sandwich from heat, melt the other half of the bread, then flip the sandwich and cook the other side.

Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt with San Luis Sourdough Bread AD | Mama Harris' KitchenRemove from heat once both sides are golden. The cheese should be warm and soft, but not all the way melted.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
