Lazy? Just add heat.

I suppose I should start my first post with one of my favorite things to cook or eat, but there's no time like the present and last night I was too lazy to cook a real meal--Fridays do that to a girl, why do you think most American families just eat pizzas on Fridays? So instead I decided to make a hodgepodge dinner out of the things I most wanted to eat from my supermarket trip yesterday: baguette, brie, and roast beef (it was on sale. I can never resist roast beef when its on sale).

However I have a pet peeve of not hot dinners. In general I don't really like food that isn't warm, so sandwiches aren't usually my cup of tea. Also, cheese is pretty darn good, but it becomes pretty darn SPECTACULAR when melted. So I present to you: Molly's super simple hot roast beef sandwiches.

First I heated up some olive oil in a frying pan. Then I cut a few skinny slices of baguette and tossed them in the pan.






Skinny is key because you're making a sandwich and there's few things I hate more than a sandwich/burger that you can't fit in your mouth and have to awkwardly eat from the top and/or bottom.



Then I sliced up some tasty, tasty brie (I like to cut the rinds off, but I guess that's a personal choice).

After flipping each piece of bread so the other side can get nice and toasty too, I put a little piece of brie on each piece. Then I covered it up with a lid to help the cheese melt faster and waited (very) impatiently.

See? Cheesy melt-y goodness. Plus its some pretty bangin' roast beef. I was only going to get a quarter pound but the guy at the deli convinced me to bump it up to a half and he was SO right.

Looks like a good dinner to me!

Moral of the story, even really simple meals can become so much better with some heat. Granted, I had an extra pan to clean, but for melted brie, totally worth it.
