Star Party Submarine

This is not really only for adults, but it does have some flavors finicky eaters might not appreciate, but the gourmet child will scarf it down and ask for more. This is also one of those recipes that can be made almost any time because most of the ingredients are probably already in your refrigerator.

Ingredients

1 French bread loaf Unsliced (Important)

1 lb Thick bacon

1 Ripe tomato

1 Ripe Avocado

1 bunch Fresh Basil Leaves about 10

1/2 cup Mayonnaise

8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese at room temperature


Directions

Take a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and place the bacon slice by slice into it. Place in a cold oven and turn the heat up to 350. Check the bacon at 10 minutes, and it should be done in about 15. Remove from the oven, and place bacon on paper towels to absorb grease. Set aside. With a good serrated knife, slice the bread crosswise to have a top and bottom. Put the basil leaves in a small food processor with the mayonnaise. Process until all the basin and mayonnaise have mixed together, best if the mayonnaise is pale green, but you may be flecks of basil. Set aside. Slice the tomato into relatively thick slices, about a quarter of an inch. Set aside. Peel and remove the seed from the avocado, then slice it as well. Set aside. Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture on one half of the bread. Put the tomatoes in a neat line on the bread. Put the bacon on top of the tomatoes. Put the avocados on top of the bacon. Take the cream cheese out of the box, and gently knead it still in its wrapper. Cut one end of the wrapper off. Slowly and carefully, from the bottom, squeeze the cream cheese over the sandwich, spread it slightly with a knife so it goes from end of end. Place the remaining mayonnaise mixture on the other piece of bread, and put that bread on top to close the sandwich. Get a large roll of cellophane wrap and wrap the sandwich well in it, then cut it into sandwiches, and wrap each sandwich separately. Wrapping submarine sandwich in plastic first will help keep it together when you want to cut it into individual sandwiches.

Reviews


This is a great sandwich for a crowd, and truly a crowd pleaser. When I made these sandwiches for the recent Teacher Appreciation Lunch at my son's elementary schools, the teachers loved it, and one of the parents who was helping serve was disappointed that she did not get any!
