Kale Biscuits Sandwich with Bacon, Beets and Blue Cheese Mayonnaise

The Creative Cooking Crew challenged us this month to a triple-Decker sandwich and that is how kale biscuits with bacon, beets and blue cheese was born.

The whole idea of a triple decker sandwich takes me back to childhood, deli’s, and club sandwiches. Club sandwiches always had bacon, and usually turky and tomato, three pieces of bread and cute tooth picks keeping each triangle together. I loved them.

While I no longer eat big fat club sandwiches, I still love bacon. My dilemma came from the challenge requirements. The ingredients must start with the same letter. So I started with bacon, which led to beets, which led to blue cheese, which led to biscuits. I even included butter lettuce. I got all my B’s in order and piled high, resulting in  a crunchy sandwich on a soft, fluffy biscuit.

I kept the beets raw and crispy. I decided to put a twist on the biscuit and added raw kale, which gives it a pretty green sprinkling. Bacon sandwiches have to have mayonnaise.  I made blue cheese mayonnaise to keep up with the B’s. It’s a great flavor combination.

This is one good bite of a biscuit sandwich. Crunchy, smoky bacon, earthy raw beets (aren’t they pretty), sultry blue cheese.

Please visit the Pinterest board or Foodalogue on Monday to see what the rest of the crew did.
