KITCHEN ADVENTURES: BLESS THIS MESS. A sandwich of things mostly on sale.

How-to: Set the oven to 375.

Take a roll. Cut in in half crosswise, then cut the halves in half lengthwise. (This is not as hard as it sounds. Just do what you need to do to make two smaller rolls, then cut those smaller rolls so you can fill them.)

Scoop out the flesh of an avocado. Chop up some kind of hot pepper. (I used a fairly large Mexican thing which was pale green, and hotter than your average jalapeno but definitely not on the level of a habanero.) Cut the kernels off a cob of sweet corn. Mix all of that up with a fork, mashing the avocado.

Slice a sweet onion.

Spread out two sheets of aluminum foil. Put the bottom half of one roll-half on each sheet. Spoon the avocado mixture onto the bread until it’s all divided up. Top with the sweet onion, and then a slice of munster cheese, and then some cayenne pepper, and then the top halves of the roll. Wrap all that in foil and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and plant your face in the dish.

Verdict: This was so great! Incredibly messy to eat–even messier than most of these toasted-cheese sandwiches I do–but absolutely delicious. I was worried that the roll would be too bready, and do keep that in mind; also worried that I would miss cilantro. But in the end this was just an immensely tasty and satisfying sandwich.
