What are you having for lunch?

What are you having for lunch? We're having sandwiches!

We are two active, healthy guys who work in an office and like to eat well. We don't like to eat out everyday - its not healthy, it takes too long, and it's too expensive. We like to shop once a week for what we need. We try to keep the cost per meal at around $5. We're typically limited to what we can buy at a local grocery. We take less than an hour for lunch. We're limited to resources and utensils found in our office break room.

Within these limitations we've been making gourmet sandwiches in our break room and getting lots of compliments. It's time to share with the world...

Prosciutto and Mozzarella

Prosciutto & Mozzarella


I have fond memories of walking around Florence, Italy with my wife. We walked over the Ponte Vecchio to the Boboli Gardens, strolled around, and then back to the Duomo before lunch. On one of the cobble-stoned streets we found a small food stand that sold fresh Prosciutto and Mozzarella sandwiches and gelato.

Eating this Prosciutto and Mozzarella helped me forget about work for a little while and relive some happy memories. Here's our version:
  • White or Whole Wheat Ciabatta rolls
  • Prosciutto - thinly sliced
  • Fresh Mozzarella - roughly sliced
  • Roma Tomatoes - sliced
  • Fresh Basil - chopped
  • Olive Oil - as always, generously drizzled
  • Salt & Pepper
